He led everyone in his castle to believe that he had been consumed by madness. Since he was exaggerating his mental state, not all of his insanity was true.

certain Danish prince are entirely appropriate to this dazzlingly presumptuous drama, set in and around Buckingham Palace in a highly foreseeable future. True, as a product of the 20th century, the newly anointed King Charles — whom you probably know better as the current Prince of Wales — would seem to have more in common with T S.
