OUR LATEST COVER STAR: PRINCE CHARLES
On the cover of the new Intelligent Life magazine is the Prince of Wales, who is about to turn 60.
"Whatever else you may say about Prince Charles," says the editor of the magazine, Tim de Lisle, "he leads an intelligent life." The cover story, by the novelist and Economist writer J.M. Ledgard, looks at Charles the working man, at his causes and hobbyhorses and what he has done with the unique set of cards he has been dealt, as the only Prince of Wales of the media age. Of his wives, there is barely a mention. The cover image shows Charles as a young man, expressing the fact that the piece comes at him afresh.
