How about a book on King Charles III?

The book shows the King in all his complexity, with his desire to make a difference and the ways in which he has already made his mark.
The Sunday Times bestseller "Charles: The heart of a king"
is available from Foyles for £13.99
The book has been updated and revised, and the two new chapters cover details of Harry and Meghan's exit, the cash-for-honours scandal, Prince Andrew, and so much more. It is based on many interviews with his friends and courtiers, insiders in the palace and critics and even rare access to Charles. It's available from Foyles for £13.99.
