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 Duke Of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, is set to tie the knot with Olivia Henson next month in what's being called the 'society wedding of the year'.
But despite having close affiliations with the royal family, reports are swirling that King Charles and Queen Camilla will not be at the nuptials.The Monarch has not yet confirmed their attendance, according to the Daily Mail, which claims Charles and Camilla have "not forgotten" a snub from Hugh's family 20 years ago.
Back in 2004, the couple had a frosty experience after being invited to the wedding of the duke's sister; Lady Tamara Grosvenor and Edward van Cutsem, and not going.The late Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, Prince William and Prince Harry were all at the wedding, but if Charles were to attend, he would have had to arrive separately to Camilla, who would have been seated several rows behind him, due to royal protocol.
Tensions were heightened by reports that Emilie, the groom's mother, and Camilla had fallen out, with the pair reportedly criticising the behaviour of each other's children.The snub to Camilla led to the couple not attending at all, with a source now telling the Daily Mail: "Their Majesties have not forgotten what happened at the wedding of Hugh's sister.There is still a lot of tension that exists." At the time, it was explained that this seating snub was protocol as Camilla had no royal standing yet.
