520 | _a"A miasma of half-fact and fiction surrounds the royal households. At the center of this confusion, hand in pocket, stands Prince Charles, a man who would in any circumstances prove hard to decode. He is fascinating, flawed as we all are, yet not as we are: a product of an upbringing set apart, conditioned to be different and to believe that difference must be maintained, a native of Planet Windsor. Born to be king, he actually aims much higher. For himself, he seeks meaning, enlightenment, happiness. For everyone else he is more zealous still. He has set his sights on nothing less than improving the human condition and fixing a battered world. 'I only take on the most difficult challenges,' he told me. 'Because I want to raise aspirations and re-create hope from hopelessness and health from deprivation." | ||
