A collection of more than seventy watercolor works painted during the last five years by the Prince of Wales reveals his concern for the environment and conservation
As the oldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, King Charles III is the king of the United Kingdom. He ascended to the throne after the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth II on September 8, 2022. He is the oldest person ever to assume the British throne.
Under public scrutiny his entire life, Charles graduated from Trinity College before embarking on a military career which culminated with him commanding the HMS Bronington. He married Diana Spencer in the summer of 1981 to huge media fanfare, though the couple would eventually divorce in 1996 after years of gossip and scandal. Charles later wed longtime love, Camilla Parker Bowles, some time after Princess Diana's death. He is the father of Princes William and Harry and is also a grandfather. Among his many philanthropic and environmental endeavors are the Prince’s Trust and the Prince’s Rainforest Project.
I suppose any crown prince could get a book of his watercolours published, but this is a collection worthy of wide admiration even if it were done by an anonymous artist.
As I have downsized and pared my possessions and reduced my books to those I simply must have, this book remains always in the Keeper Collection.
A very nice hardcover gift book with various watercolour styles and personal commentary by the prince of Wales. His grandmother, the queen mother, writes a very beautiful and endearing foreword.
