- Clarence House insist new Charles biography was not authorised by palace
- Prince portrayed as a man 'driven by guilt' who flies into fits of 'royal rage'
- Aides attempted to refocus attention to Prince of Wales' charity work
- They add author Catherine Mayer did not have exclusive access to Charles
Prince Charles’s private office came out fighting yesterday after a controversial biography claimed he is riven by insecurities and undermined by his aides’ feuds.
Officials reacted angrily to the heir’s portrayal as a man ‘driven by guilt’ who flies into fits of ‘royal rage’ but cannot control his courtiers’ internal squabbles.
Clarence House insisted the book by Catherine Mayer – called Charles: The Heart of a King – was in no way authorised by the palace.
