Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The intense love between Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles has spanned decades. It is a tale that has reached almost Shakespearian heights of passion, misery and betrayal. Now, they have made history by announcing their plans to marry, thrusting them back into the spotlight once more. This sensational biography reveals everything about their relationship, their decision to marry and the impact that the event will have on the establishment and the public. It examines how they were kept apart by the Royal family and how Charles's love for Camilla throughout his marriage to Diana led to the press casting her as the villain of the piece when the marriage ended. Caroline Graham has spoken to sources very close to the couple to uncover one of the most controversial relationships of our time. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the money if you have other Graham Camilla books, July 22, 2005

This review is from: Camilla and Charles: The Love Story (Hardcover)

In her acknowledgements Graham mentions that she was introduced to Camilla Parker Bowles more than 10 years ago, her friends asked her (Graham)to set the record straight. This is by my count her 3rd (4th?) Camilla book.

The book starts out, and ends, with a little bit about the recent marriage between Mrs. P.B. and the Prince of Wales but most of the bulk of the book is material you'll have already seen in another of Ms. Graham's books on Camilla. The cover photos are recent of course as is one B/W picture inside the book, but I do think I've read all the rest before.

Ms. Graham must be Camilla's greatest fan, seems to think more highly of her than perhaps even what she thinks of Prince Charles. The late Princess Diana, or Paul Burrell?- virtually nothing good about them here.

Even if you are yourself a Camilla fan I think your money could be better spent elsewhere if you have the earlier books. What little new information is probably already in something like Majesty Magazine, not much point in buying it twice. I was disappointed in how little new material there was here, didn't expect "I love Diana" but I did hope to actually learn something new.

Easy book to read. If you follow the Royals this may have a lot you already know. This book addresses why Charles and Camilla ultimately ended up with each other. It also shows her in a good light. Their relationship mirrors the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. Co-dependent.......
