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.
Meghan and Harry ‘angry’ over bombshell book and 'want to settle the score’
ok.co.ukTo say it’s been a difficult week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is an understatement. And according to former royal butler Grant Harrold, the publication of Tom Bower’s bombshell book Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors – a book they were probably dreading – will have left Harry and Meghan feeling “angry” and “hurt”.
In the book, which features a series of shocking revelations about the couple, the author speaks to several insiders who claim to shed some light on what’s really been going on behind closed palace doors for the past few years.These include the sensational claim that the Queen didn’t want Meghan, 40, to attend Prince Philip’s funeral, with the queen allegedly saying, “Thank goodness Meghan isn’t coming.” The book also claims that 37-year-old Harry’s pals called him “f*****g nuts” to be with Meghan and that by July 2018, Prince Charles had started to grow frustrated with his new daughter-in-law, saying he had “never really understood her or what she wanted”.
Grant says of the claims, “I have no doubt Harry and Meghan will be angry and slightly hurt.” But in terms of whether the famously litigious couple will take legal action over the book, he says, “I’m wondering if they’ll do that thing where they think, let’s just not act immediately, let’s just think on it and sleep on it.
Harry knows his grandmother really well. He knows the kinds of things that she does or says so he will probably have an idea of whether it’s just somebody trying to put a bit of coal in the fire.” Royal biographer Katie Nicholl, however, says that it’s “very believable” that the Queen would have said those words.
