“My Mother and I” is a non-fiction book that was released in 2024. The story of the actual relationship between King Charles III and his mom.

The relationship between the late Monarch and her son, who is the King, has long been a topic of fascination. An heir’s upbringing is particularly important and places an extra burden on top of all of the cares that come with motherhood. The demands that get placed on the monarch are unique and there was nobody better placed to know this than the late Queen. She knew that not only must they be figureheads, however they also have to be seen to care for others less fortunate than themselves. They’re also expected to uphold family values. Princess Elizabeth made it a point of maternal honor to attempt and build her routine around her young son as she did her duty. When she became the Queen, it was a much more delicate balance, however one that she eventually learnt to sustain.

Unlike his more self-contained mom, who would always put her duty above personal happiness, King Charles needed support and love in order to function properly. This is the story of how Charles was moulded and shaped by his heritage. His mom was the woman that he always loved yet could never be close to. As Queen she held onto the Pandora’s box of the crown and all that he could do was just wait and learn. In his mom’s old age, he finally got the respect and affection from her that he had craved for so long.

This book documents his life through many personal anecdotes from his friends and family, from the moment that the guns saluted his birth up to the day that he was officially declared the King at his Coronation.
