Charles, Prince of Wales (Charles Philip Arthur George; born 14 November 1948) is the heir apparent to the British throne as the eldest son of Elizabeth II. He has been Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay since 1952, and he is the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in British history.
He is also the longest-serving Prince of Wales, having held that title since 1958. Charles was born at Buckingham Palace as the first grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. He was educated at Cheam and Gordonstoun schools, which his father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had attended as a child. Charles also spent a year at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia.
The BBC has issued an apology after an offensive remark was heard during their D-Day commemorative broadcast. Kirsty Young, who was among the presenters for the King and Queen's coronation last may, was at the helm of the special programme, BBC D-Day 80: Tribute to the Fallen, which marked the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings.
As the show began, Kirsty introduced a military band for the audience and mentioned support available for visually impaired viewers.
However, as the live coverage from the Commonwealth War Graves Cemetery in Bayeux, France, commenced, the feed switched to a military band performance.
It was then that an off-camera voice was heard uttering: "French a*******s." Following backlash on social media, the BBC has now offered an apology and removed the programme from its online platform to be edited.
