That walk of shame when he went to his seat smiling and waving at people who clearly wanted to ignore him was hilarious… not to mention the feather doing the work of hiding him from most of the televised service. 🤣

Also the 20 years of Queen Camilla’s work with women suffering from domestic abuse is never spotlighted by the press or her work with literacy and young children ,but they are willing to show mm talking absolute rhubarb to young girls -such a danger to them as well 🙏We are indeed fortunate to have such a sensitive and kind King and Queen 🙏🙏🙏

He has recently signed over millions to the British Government instead of holding onto his profits from offshore Windfarms - not that this has received much attention.

That the media could not shut him up with their at times constant mockery, laughing at these opinions show his true quality. Not forgetting the 1.2 million young Brits from tough backgrounds, many from our ethnic minorities, who through The PrincesTrust he has given a leg up to help succeed. Even now the King, as his speech to OPEC showed will not be shut up by a government who I am certain are tying to muzzle him over his environmental concerns. I hope he continues for many years to quietly, within the bounds available, to be a thorn in the side of every government who put their own interests above the protection of the environment and those of the people who elected them.

It was a shock to us because the palace had covered his bad attitude and behaviour up for all these years but the RF have been putting up with him doing nasty spiteful things when he doesnt get his way since he was a little kid having tantrums.

Harry himself gave us the insight in to the real him in his book spare when he was so nasty about women and the disabled and seemed proud of how he had behaved

Generationally, I grew up,with Camilla as the cruel other woman that tortured our beloved Diana. It’s not my story to ever know, but I agree with you about watching their happiness and joy over the years. When it was first released, before all the controversy amped up, I was watching the first Netflix episode with my sister. As the show portrayed their quintessential love story, I turned to her and said, “you know the really true great love story in the family is Charles and Camilla and because of circumstances it will never be seen that way”. If I said that today, given the cynicism and disdain I feel towards the Sussexes, it would be shade on them, but at the time it was watching this sentimental portrayal of love and being struck by how happy Charles and Camilla were in their love, and its duration, persistence etc. As to Harry being capable of an objective perception, I honestly don’t. I hate how we appropriate words defining serious conditions into pop culture, use them loosely and then inadvertently minimize what it means to have that illness-so I’m not going to diagnose PH-but the man is clearly not emotionally healthy and there is a continual perceptional distortion, in his stories, appearances etc. wherein the things that happen to him are caused by other people or circumstances. This is his personal narrative on virtual anything I have ever heard him describe. With all that said ( and then some 🙃) I am more than confident to say the Duchess suffers (and therefore those around her suffer) from a Narcissistic Personality Disorder-cause her symptoms are as self evident as albinism. And at minimum, that’s the partner who he shapes his world with.

However, without that marriage, we would not have William, Prince of Wales. Life is strange sometimes.

It sounds as if he was never weak, but was biding his time until he became King. After all, he’d never have against the late QEII as he knew that was not his role at any point in time.

Ooh Shauna! I can’t believe we’re getting this tea so early from you! You’ve just made my day. Much love ❤🎉

I adore king Charles! I'm an American and, to be honest, I really didn't know or think much of King Charles- if anything, I thought less of him bc of the whole Diana drama. H & M has done more for the Royal family than any PR company could. Their ridiculous crazy attitudes have made the royal family look impeccable! So huge thanks to H &M make the royal family look amazing! Yay!

Unfortunately, over the years, all the ‘drama’ with Diana has overshadowed a lot of the good stuff King Charles has done throughout his life. He’s received so little credit for his statesmanship, dignity and ability to represent our country so well on the world stage, as well as The Princes Trust and his ecological credentials. I’m very glad Robert Hardman is talking about our Kings dedication

I'm Australian and my attitude towards the royal family for most of my life has been indifference. Harry and Meghan were a great source of entertainment during the lockdown era with their silly antics. As you say, they have inadvertently boosted the reputations of the working royals.

I can't imagine the stress the RF is under having to keep a smile on their faces all while being trashed by H&M. The King needs to strip them of their titles and remove them from the line of succession. H has no guts and is not protecting his family!

@@pollyparrot9447 I'm Greek, of Romanian origin, and my attitude towards the royal family for all my life has been indifference. Like you, during the lockdown I started watching YT, mostly tarot readings on the Royal Family and from there I expanded on the info that was coming out about the twosome and the rest of the RF. I know for sure that MANY other people were in a similar situation like us. So, yes, H&M managed to bring interest into and appreciation for the RF for so MANY people!

An excellent review, many thanks. 14 hours? My goodness! It sounds a really excellent read. H&M's spite, selfishness and littleness of mind is truly sad, when they have had such opportunities to do what KC3, like his mother before him, appears to be doing - which is big, serious, selfless service to others. As William and Kate seem set on doing, too. Thank goodness for them, and frankly - long live the King.

Another brilliant review, thank you! If I had any doubt, I knew that King Charles would make it when he delivered his speech immediately after the death of HM The Queen, his mother. Typically much was made of his tantrum about the leaking fountain pen. My God, imagine the pressure under which the man had been! On a different note, I liked the then Mrs. Parker Bowles from the moment she entered public awareness. Great ladies like that are not born anymore. So thanks again and keep up the good work!

Drinking chamomile tea and watching this with a friend. Your insights are spot on. Charles and Camilla exude a real happiness and she is embracing her role magnificently. The King is right in his approach: his good works and his deep concern for people are his legacy. Eagerly awaiting my hard copy. Merci beaucoup for listening to 14 hours so that we could have "the scoop." You are a treasure, Shawna

Well said , Shauna's a treasure 😊.

Thank you for a great review of this book. It really helps to have a balanced overview of the main characters and issues. KC has always been a man of character and has real affection for all his people. I've watched him mature from a young man to the King he has become. He has remained focused on his real interests, his people, the environment, equality, diversity, inclusion and faith. Long may he reign.

Terrific, balanced, representation. I enjoyed the part about H being too cowardly to be on the plane with his family, which differs from H's whining , victim ,version. So pleased that Robert Hardman has been able to represent the royals and give the truthful versions. The more H and M spew their jealous ,nastiness the more people appreciate the true royals. If M does do her memoir, the only way it will be a bestseller is if all details of her life are included, not just more royal bashing. It has to include all the rumours that are constantly surfacing as more and more people are talking and talking. The major one to be addressed is the surrogacy rumours for which their silence is deafening.

@maggieswithenbank6709 Even when a liar lies, you can learn a lot about what's really going on. Take the multiple stories of how they met and started dating, for example; the fact that there are multiple and they always get really squirrelly about it suggests there is something there that's important and would look bad, and when you compare the stories you can at least piece together a few guesses. Or for a more straightforward example: Harry, in Spare, claiming Meghan wasn't a bully it's just that all these talented people were suddenly incompetent and she HAD to correct them constantly (which we can interpret as "nag" and "berate") and the constant correction left them in floods of tears daily (because Meghan was bullying them), which somehow had to do with racism against Meghan in the press (Harry doesn't know what racism is and just throws it out to see if it will stick and might cover for their bad behaviour. I really hope she writes a book and I hope it sells worse than Spare and Endgame even. I hope she regrets it for the rest of her life, but we get some good laughs.

M liked bringing up her favorite R card. As well. Also even re Royalty & our dear Queen. Our Queen toured the world & spoke & mixed with many people & of all different cultures. 😊but M saying our Queen was well M s R card. M needed to get her facts correct & read & to learn the history of our dear Queen. I read M loves her name out their re gd or not so gd about her. To her it is like her name in 😊lights. Bless.😅😢😂.

Thankyou so much for emphasising the marvellous works of our glorious King Charles the press have been so n3gligent for soo many years. Thousands of young people have been given opportunities and mentored into meaningful lives 🙏 let the gruesome twosome just disappear 🙏

At first, I could not fully understand the “never complain, never explain” strategy. Over time, I see the value in it, and letting the work speak. Thanks for the interesting review! I especially liked the part about the king’ s charity to encourage businesses. What a worthwhile project!

Thank-you once again Shauna for your excellent review of the book 'King Charles III.' It is definitely a must read for me. I watched and followed Princess Ann and King Charles growing up and I always thought they were both very intelligent and well brought up , never waivering from their roles of being Royals. That view has never wavered despite the malicious gossip thrown at King Charles II over the years. Queen Camilla is very high in my estimation too, a lovely and intelligent lady who is doing so well in representing The Monarchy. Looking forward to your next 'Gossip Before Bed'.

Another fabulous review. I’m glad that KC is enjoying the role that he has waited a lifetime for. I don’t think many of us could withstand all the negativity the whole family has to endure. Thank you.

The CA duo weren’t important when the queen died and they still are not important! Book sounds very good! I think KC has done a great job these past 18 months.

It is disheartening to realise yet again how ridiculous (to put it mildly) the main stream media is - focusing on whatever gets the most clicks and is scandalous and disregarding what is good and worhtwhile and giving a balanced view. Shame on today's journalism. I love poetic justice, too ! I really look forward to more books and accounts like this one :)

Thanks Shauna ❤🎉 Love listening 🎧 to the snippet of the book. Even The Late Queen believe that her FIRM is in the good hands... RIP Ma'am ...

Fascinating insight. I was especially surprised about what was going on with the arrangement of travel to the Queens deathbed. How warped is Harry? Leading us all to believe or to imply that William completely ignored him. I never gave it a thought that if William talked to him whatever was said would be in the book. Also enjoyed how you divided the book up into subjects and addressed it each that way. Really appreciate all the effort you have put into this.

Thank you Shauna great review. I am actually feeling a bit of relief and peace for the monarchy now and going forward (especially after all the vicious attacks by H&M) I am just Loving the TRUTH finally coming out behind H&M account of events ..It's about time! The King is so right the work and commitment to duty will speak for itself, and definitely has. Can't wait to read the book. You're the best, have a beautiful day. 😊🇺🇸💐

Medal of Honour for undertaking 14 listening hours on our behalf.👍👌👊❤

Excellent review, Shauna. I've always avoided reading a lot of the royal biographies -usually because of the fear of partisan authorship - but this seems to very balanced. I'll give it a go! Cheers!

Very few 30 minutes long [roughly] KZread videos manage to keep me engaged. This was riveting and it left me wanting more [you've convinced me to buy the book]. Brilliant review! It's good to know that the other side of the coin is being recognized in a dignified and measured manner, and also that King Charles enjoys performing his duties as King despite the targeted attacks of the Montecito moaners. No "WAHHH" tome from the King! I watched it twice!!!

Of course I wouldn’t dare skip through! Can’t miss any juicy bits 😃

Excellent review Shauna. 👍 Always admired King Charles, he has been right about so many things over ghe years, architecture, climate change ,arts and crafts. The King and Queen compliment each other very nicely and are he seems to be more happier/contented since they married

Either do I!

Really enjoyed this analysis. I don’t normally order Royal books, but I did purchase this one. I believe Robert Hardman is a respected, credible author with impeccable sources.

I wonder if part of Queen Margrethe's thinking when she decided to abdicate was seeing Charles go through the loss of his mother while assuming the throne and going through all of the engagements and being steady face for a mourning public. (And, of course, she went through this when her own father died.) As it turned out, her own son could assume the throne in a much less stressful, joyful context.

Thank you for the excellent review Shauna. As they say, ACTIONS speak louder than WORDS! How this typifies what Robert Hardman is portraying in this book. Compare all the actions/results from the work of King Charles to the pitiful word salad out of the California duo. Its too bad that more people don't spend their time thinking about what is real rather than blindly believing the garbage that a lot of the media propagates. I am glad that we have you and people like Robert Hardman to bring thoughtful and articulate realism to the our attention. 😊

You made me want to read the book! I think the timing of the publication of the book is excellent and will restore a little sanity and respect to the royal institution and the king. I believe that when the lies of the non-royal prince and princess are published, they will stop being mentioned at all!🙏🌹

Thank you for such a lovely review of the book. I should receive it tomorrow and will be taking it on my trip to Monterey, CA on Saturday. Can’t wait to read it.

Thank you for such an interesting review of this book. I can't wait to read it. RH paints a very different picture of KCIII than we have heard/read from reporters that he jealously guards his popularity and the press he receives. I feel that H&M believe this false narrative and do their best to compete for headlines when they know an important event is coming up for C & W&C. It is all so petty and childish and has not really worked as their popularity has steadily decreased in the US. I have always believed that KCIII is a hard worker and not as concerned with publicity as others have made out. He has been doing such amazing fork for more years than H can comprehend. The very fact he started the Prince’s Trust at such a young age and has always been heavily involved in the work is proof positive for me. He has always been way ahead of the rest of the world and other experts in his fight for the environment. This sounds like a really great book and I will be purchasing rather than borrowing this one from the library. I am so glad you have given us such a genuinely positive overview of it. Thank you again.

Thanks so much for "pulling an all-nighter" for us, Shauna. I hope the kookaburras sang extra merrily for you in the wee hours.

Dear Shauna. This is great! So timely. I'm going on vaca tomorrow, and was considering getting the book (on Kindle), but I didn't want to buy it if it was another Harry & Meghan book. After your video, I see that the book really is about the King, so I just bought it for my Kindle (I'm in US)! About the only good thing I can say about Harry and Meghan is that a lot of people who wouldn't have admired KCIII, have great affection for him now. He is so modest that very few people know about all the good he has done, to include the Princes Trust. I look forward to reading this book. Thank you!
