“The fountains in Trafalgar Square ran blue when Prince Charles was born, and continued to do so for a week. His picture graced every newspaper and magazine not just for a week but for months, then years. His privileged, though sometimes perplexing childhood was invaded by the click of cameras, the cheers of crowds, the pointing of fingers. He became heir to the Throne at the age of four, and Prince of Wales at nine. With only spasmodic respite, he has been obliged to live up to his awesome legacy while living down the doubtful honour of being an international celebrity.”
