Incorrect dates
Published by Julie , 23 days ago
I have recently received a copy of this book and in the summary part the date on which the current King Charles III was invested as the Prince of Wales is incorrect. The book says the date was 1958. This would have made the then Prince Charles only 8. He was invested in 1969 aged 21. As this is an historical event, the gap of 11 years should not have been approved to be in an historical book.
