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' title he held for just over 500 days for heartbreaking reason
ok.co.ukMany members of the Royal Family have important titles that date back centuries but what you may not realise is that the likes of the King and the Prince of Wales don't just have one title, but several.
For example, King Charles' full title is: Charles III, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of his other realms and territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
Before his accession, the-then Prince Charles held several senior Dukedoms and later gained three more titles when his father passed away in April 2021.
However, the King doesn't have them anymore as they reverted to the Crown upon his accession 517-days later. Before the deaths of both of his parents, the King had eight different titles, these were: the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cornwall, the Duke of Rothesay, the Earl of Chester, the Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.
