Yet it is also fair to say that within the cocoon of royalty, and despite the disorder that dominated his personal life during his marriage to Diana, he has created a role for himself of such scope that if he were a commoner, you would call it a remarkable and successful career. Over time he has figured out how to use the powers of his position to give practical outlet to a wide range of passionate convictions about how to improve the world. After listening...
