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.
Last week saw the Duchess of Sussex seemingly take a swipe at her brother-in-law Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton for allowing the British media to photograph their children at key events, such as their first day of school.
Chatting to journalists at the US magazine The Cut, Meghan Markle explained she wouldn’t allow the same for her own children, Archie, three, or Lilibet, one, she said, "There’s literally a structure by which if you want to release photos of your child, as a member of the family, you first have to give them to the Royal Rota." She added, "Sorry, I have a problem with that.That doesn’t make me obsessed with privacy.That makes me a strong and good parent protecting my child." While many of her fans hailed her as "a good mum and role model" and "brave" for her decision, royal expert Duncan Larcombe exclusively tells OK! , "It doesn’t take a lot of reading between the lines to interpret what Meghan says as thinly veiled swipes. "She and Harry have made a different decision to William and Kate in terms of schooling but it’s the tone that Meghan seems to speak with." Meghan also alluded to her relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, and Harry’s relationship with his, Prince Charles, as she said, "Harry said to me, 'I lost my dad in this process.' "It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision." Meghan’s pal, journalist and author Omid Scobie said she was referring to the estranged relationship with her own father, however, Duncan believes she is still suggesting a rift between Prince Harry and Prince Charles. "The problem here is that Meghan and Harry will only do interviews with journalists and publications that they consider to be safe and on side," Duncan.
