I had the opportunity to speak with Tom Jennings via Zoom to talk about Charles: In His Own Words. I looked forward to hearing his opinion about Charles, now as King Charles III and shared what changes he hopes to see during his regiment. Jennings also discussed the footage he found that had never been seen before and that shows us a playful and charismatic side of Charles when he was much younger. In addition to his upbringing, the ongoing affair with Camilla Parker Bowles and much more!
