The coronation of King Charles is to be celebrated with the release of a new James Bond story called On His Majesty's Secret Service.
The story will be set in the present day with Bond being sent to thwart an attempt to disrupt the King's coronation. "Getting it written and turned around in such a short space of time was going to be as tense and heart-pounding as any Bond mission. Although, of course, nobody would actually be shooting at me."
On His Majesty's Secret Service will be published on May 4, two days before King Charles' coronation on May 6 and all the royalties from sales of the book will support the work of UK charity the National Literacy Trust, which helps disadvantaged children gain literacy skills.
