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.
King Charles has retained his patronage of the British Film Institute. The organization made the announcement this morning, marking the 25th anniversary of the opening of BFI IMAX in London where King Charles III (then Prince Charles) cut the ribbon on June 11, 1999.
A registered charity founded in 1933, the BFI has been governed by Royal Charter since 1983. In 2018, Charles visited the BFI Southbank to celebrate 40 years as the BFI’s Patron, where he met BFI employees including Chief Executive Ben Roberts, BFI Film Academy alumni, and talent including actors Ruth Wilson, Hayley Atwell, David Oyelowo OBE, and BFI Ambassador Tom Hiddleston.
The monarch was also shown Peter Sellers’ script from The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) with handwritten notes by the comic actor, and promotional material from The Pink Panther, one of his favorite films.
The BFI also preserves the Royal Collection of film. The film collection dates from 1931 with more than 1,000 individual reels of film.
