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 III will use Clarence House as his home for the time being, with major building work at Buckingham Palace yet to be completed, it has been confirmed.
Buckingham Palace is regarded as Monarchy HQ and Charles III has already held a series of audiences with Prime Minister Liz Truss, cabinet ministers and Realm High Commissioners at the famous London landmark.
