Robert Hardman: royal biographer on the first year of King Charles III's reign ahead of new biography

It's been over one year since King Charles III took to the throne - and it's been a rollercoaster for the ruler.

The monarch's had to deal with scandals, family drama and even significant health issues within the first 12 months of his reign.

Royal biographer Robert Hardman, off the back of releasing his new biography Charles III: The Inside Story, says it's been an eventful time - for good and bad reasons.

"I think a lot of people were predicting a rocky patch for the monarchy - how could anyone possibly step into the shoes of the longest-lived monarch in our history... people thought this was going to be a very different kind of reign."
