Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A very interesting walk down memory lane with our wonderful king. Recommended.

A nice trip down memory lane of the important moments or occasions in Charles’ life culminating in being crowned King.

Rated 4.5 stars out of 5 on my blog - I don’t often read books about the royal family, not because I don’t care, but more because I do care about them and their future, as some have caused controversy or much speculation in the past. This was one of those early books about our new King and it is published by Collins Reference, so I thought I would give it a go. The Coronation was, however momentous, after the death of our longest and beloved monarch - Queen Elizabeth II. I, like many, grew up with her and grew up reading the newspapers and hearing the then Prince Charles - now King Charles II on the news on TV. So, I thought I would take a look at this new biography, now he is King and he’s had his Coronation ceremonies in England and Scotland and visited other parts of the UK too.

I was pleasantly surprised, even though some of the chapter names made my nose wrinkle a bit. It is respectful, insightful and has some rather witty anecdotes, throughout the years, of which it is divided up into for each snappy chapter. It’s easy to read and surprisingly fast-paced, with each snapshot into His Majesty’s life, going through his life from early childhood to him becoming King. There are also many photos at different points of his life, so you see him grow from boy to manhood. As well as showing the King has a sense of humour, it also shows he has a sense of humbleness and humility too. It also has moments of poignancy and emotional sadness in his life, as well as emotional happiness, the troubled times, as well as how his life has turned around.

People can see when he became a father and how he became a real family man, amongst his duties and what delights he has enjoyed from this, but also endured some tough times, not just that of some family not behaving terribly well, but also the losses he has suffered. The book is also respectful to the late Queen Elizabeth II and her beloved late Duke of Edinburgh near the end. 

Readers can see certain momentous times in the charity work he does too as well as a quick look into his care for the environment, something that’s been a passion of his for many years.

So, if you want a whistle stop tour of the making of King Charles III, look no further than this book.

King Charles III: 100 moments from his journey to the throne
by Arthur Edwards MBE is a lovely book with some beautiful photo's throughout. Its a great book with lovely information about King Charles. If you love the Royals and a great keep sake book for your book shelf.

I loved this photographic record of the key points in our new king’s life. Many of the photographs were already familiar to me, but several were not. What I really liked most about this book was the interesting background story to each picture explaining what went on around the time of the photograph and why these were such formative moments. This would make an excellent gift for anyone interested in the royal family but equally nice just to treat oneself to it!

Firstly the kindle version was very hard to follow and read very bitty. Photos broken into squares that were not aligned . Which is a shame.
A very good book all the same. Details the important parts of the Kings life from birth to present day.
A good book for any royal fans. But Amazon need to fix the issue with the book on the kindle.
Thank you NetGalley & publishers for gifting me this book,

If you are interested in the royals this is a worthy read.

A wonderful insight into our new King with lots of information that most people wouldn’t be aware of.
It explores King Charles upbringing and life and gives a greater understanding of the man he is.
Wonderful photos add to this lovely book.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
