SYNOPSIS: "I'm not much conscious of being a monarch-to-be. I'm much more conscious of being a Prince of Wales as-is. I have got a life of my own and I like it." - Prince Charles. Consider Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten-Windsor, coming into his own after three decades of elaborate preparations for kingship. He is as comfortable in a palace ballroom or addressing Parliament as he is flying a jet fighter, handling a polo pony ('my one extravagance") or skippering a Royal Navy minesweeper through North Atlantic gales, and equally at home at the wheel of his sports car or at the reins of a coach-and-pair at Windsor. His income is estimated at a half-million dollars a year and he is heir to the grandest preserve of royal pomp and privilege left on earth: the British throne. Here is the first revealing, in-depth portrait of the monarch-to-be, drawn by British journalist Tim Heald and veteran Time editor May Mohs, based on many personal interviews with Prince Charles, his friends, teachers and coaches, fellow naval officers and members of the Royal Family, and illustrated with over seventy photographs. It is the story behind the official life of the will-be world leader: his childhood in Buckingham palace; the Spartan, cold-shower grammar schools; his years at Cambridge as the first Prince of Wales to earn a university degree; his stunts flying helicopters and diving under the ice for the Royal Navy; his 3,000-acre estate in Kent, which he calls "the most desirable bachelor pad in Europe," his royal - and not so royal - tours to Africa, Asia and the Americas; his rarely disclosed insights into the peculiarities of his office ("I should remind you that in company with convicts, lunatics and peers of the realm, I am ineligible to vote."). Here, too, is another, private story: the real, rumored and hoped-for romances - Lady Jane Wellesley, Lady Sarah Spencer, Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg, Tricia Nixon, Margaret Trudeau, Davina Sheffield, Farrah Fawcett-Majors - ("I've fallen in love with all sorts of girls and I fully intend to go on doing so."); his relationship to the Queen, and the courtly pleasures of the highborn-riding, hunting, gaming with the aristocracy of Europe. Once "Windsor" to his army drill sergeant, still "Sir" - at least in public - even to his girlfriends, he is the world's most eligible bachelor ("I would never recommend getting married too young. You miss so much.") and, to many people, the most engaging member of the Royal Family to emerge on the international scene in many and many a generation. H. R. H. puts Prince Charles in clear perspective, with wide-ranging insight into the traditions of his predecessors, and points the way for all "Charles watchers" in assessing and appreciating the future of The Man Who Will Be King. Mayo Mohs is associate editor of Time, where he has worked for over twelve years. His many Time cover stories include one on Prince Charles and one on Mother Teresa of Calcutta, which earned him the Overseas Press Club award. Tim Heald recently returned to London from Weekend magazine in Toronto, for which he wrote a widely syndicated cover story on Prince Charles . . . Si.
