From Publishers Weekly
This biography of the Prince of Wales is at once foolish and poignant--and how could it be otherwise, since the man who would be king has established that reputation himself. Benson, a columnist for the London Express and a former classmate of the prince at Gordonstoun in the wilds of Scotland, recalls how the students there made great sport of following the heir-apparent in packs taunting him with "clamorous slurping noises." We also read that throughout the prince's youth his parents were distant from him, that he was a latch-key kid with only his nannies to change his nappies. Denial of parental affection, the author suggests, left a "resonating hollow in his life." Benson trails the prince from his nursery years to that of his mother's annus horribilis , titillating us with anecdotes purportedly told by "members of the household" without making clear whether the tales he repeats were gleaned by him or learned third hand. But we've heard it all before, in any case.
