Charles & Camilla

Charles & Camilla traces the backgrounds of the then Prince Charles and Camilla Shand and follows the relationship that developed around their separate marriages, public duties and family lives. Brandreth places their private attachment within the expectations imposed on the heir to the throne and the social world in which both were raised.

The book examines Charles’s marriage to Diana, the exposure of his relationship with Camilla, the hostility that followed and the gradual public rehabilitation that preceded their marriage in 2005. Drawing on Brandreth’s access to royal circles, it presents the relationship as both a personal history and a study of the modern monarchy under intense press scrutiny.
