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 Markle received brutal remark from late Queen after breaking royal tradition at wedding
dailyrecord.co.ukMeghan Markle tied the knot with Prince Harry in a grand ceremony at Windsor Castle over six years ago.The Royal Family and guests from the world of showbiz, politics and sport filled St George's Chapel to witness the couple say their vows.
The duchess looked stunning in a Givenchy wedding dress and the day seemed to go smoothly - much to everyone's relief after the tension leading up to the big day, particularly concerning Meghan's father.Just days before the wedding, Meghan's dad announced he wouldn't be attending due to health issues, leaving the former Suits actress without someone to walk her down the aisle.
The then-Prince Charles stepped in at the last minute, but his kind gesture reportedly left the late Queen feeling "not comfortable", according to a royal book, the Mirror reports.With no one else to escort her down the aisle, Meghan's future father-in-law Charles, who was still the Prince of Wales at the time, offered to step in as he told his daughter-in-law that he would be honoured to accompany her to the altar.
However, in her book 'My Mother and I', Royal biographer Ingrid Seward claims: "The Queen was not comfortable with the Prince of Wales standing in for Meghan's father, Thomas Markle, and was similarly concerned about a 96-year-old Prince Philip walking down the aisle without a stick, having had a hip replacement only five weeks before."Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.You'll receive daily updates on breaking news as well as the top headlines across Scotland.No one will be able to see who is signed up and no one can send messages except the Daily Record team.All you have to do is click here if you're on mobile, select 'Join Community' and
