A new unauthorized biography, called 'Charles
Her Majesty the Queen fears that Britain will be shocked by the different style of monarchy Prince Charles was planning, News24.com reported.
The book claimed that the 66-year-old prince's passion for embracing sometimes unusual causes has prompted disquiet at Buckingham Palace, where the 88-year-old was set to overtake Queen Victoria in September as Britain's longest reigning monarch.
When Prince of Wales' turn finally comes to ascend the throne, he plans a new model of kingship that would create a smaller monarchy and open up royal residences to the public.
Charles himself had been quoted by the author, Catherine Mayer, as saying that he only take on the most difficult challenges, so he wants to raise aspirations and re-create hope from hopelessness and health from deprivation.
The book further gives details that the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth and groomed from birth to one day be king, Charles has taken on the responsibilities of public life but found himself for years eclipsed by Princess Diana, his first wife who died in a Paris car crash in 1997.
In 2005 Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles, who will one day sit alongside him as queen according to the current assumption in Buckingham Palace.
