For this remarkable study of the heir to the British throne, Jonathan Dimbleby was given unprecedented access to his subject As well as spending many hours in wide ranging and candid conversations with Prince Charles, the author has interviewed scores of people, including his personal staff and close friends, most of whom have never talked openly about the prince before The author has also drawn freely from the prince's own archives, including more than 10,000 letters, private journals and diaries, none of which has hitherto been made public
