Grant Harrold
Duke of Sussex: A Changed Man
If the Palace thought that 2023 would be a quieter year after the drama and tragedy of 2022 then the release of Prince Harry’s autobiography Spare has just about destroyed all hope. The book has caused international frenzy amongst the media and the public. Opinion was more divided than ever on whether Prince Harry should retain his royal titles. Though Harry and Meghan fled the royal family for a second chance at the private life they always wanted, the world refused to let them go quietly. Despite their escape, the media’s continued attention cased a barrage of headlines, flaring up rumour after scandalous rumour about the couple and the royal family. In order to set the record straight, they decided to tell their own side of the story, giving a tell-all series of interviews, podcasts and Netflix documentary series. But eclipsing all of the revelations shared previously, in January 2023 Harry released his controversial and much-anticipated autobiography, Spare.

Prince Charles: The Making of a King
Charles, Prince of Wales. Unlike his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles always knew he would one day become King. Becoming heir apparent at just three years old, Charles has become the oldest and longest serving heir apparent in British history, as well as the longest serving Prince of Wales, having held the title since 1958. In his own way, he has defined the role of heir apparent. He has been called a visionary in his creative and forward thinking ideas, with his passions for the environment, for architecture and for alternative medicine. Charles is president or patron to over 400 charities and organisations, and known as one of the most hard-working royals, alongside his sister Anne, the Princess Royal. In his many years of service to his country, he has undoubtedly earned his place, and earned the respect and admiration of the people. Here, we look back at the life of Prince Charles, a king in the making.

In a never-before-seen interview, King Charles' former butler Grant Harrold, now a social media sensation, paints an intimate portrait of the new monarch.
Heir & Spare: Charles & Anne
Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but heavier is the burden of being next in line. The British Royal family is built on the traditional duty until death. For every heir to the throne, there is a spare. Charles knew he’d become King, following in his mother's footsteps, leaving his sister Anne behind. Despite their close childhood bond, becoming the reigning Monarch would definitely divide the pair. When one steps up, the other must step back.
Prince Harry: Being the Spare
Despite Prince Harry and Megan's escape, the media's continued attention caused a barrage of headlines, flaring up rumor after scandalous rumors about the couple and the royal family.
Queen Camilla: Defiant
Her Majesty, Queen Camilla has faced a journey unparalleled in British history. From being the much-maligned ‘other woman’, caught in the heat of scandal, to a loved and accepted Queen consort. Over the years, Camilla has faced a savage attack from the tabloids as the world sided with Diana, Princess of Wales, in a troublesome series of media exposés. But against all odds, she finally emerged as the wife, companion and Queen to King Charles III. Charles declared that Camilla was a non-negotiable part of his life. So, against the advice and approval of the royal courtiers, they began the relationship that, in time, the world would come to accept. Camilla’s attitude has remained steadfast towards her husband and the life and responsibilities of her role as Duchess and, later, Queen.
The Legacy of the Prince of Wales
The longest-serving heir apparent in British history, King Charles III has acted as the Prince of Wales for a staggering 64 years. It is a role that he came to embrace and ultimately redefine it in his own way. As the role passes on to his son, Prince William not only has to keep up the tradition of duty and hard work that the royal family has always embodied, but also prepare for his destiny to inherit the crown and become King. As the world remains on stand-by to see how Prince William will take on his new title, does he have what it takes to live up to the legacy of a ‘Duchy Original’?
