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.
Prince Charles, 73, is first in the line of succession for the British throne when his mother Queen Elizabeth, 95, passes away.
After Charles, he’ll eventually be succeeded by his son Prince William, 39. Someday, Charles’ eldest grandson Prince George, 8, will eventually take the throne.
The Prince of Wales has been with his wife Camilla Parker Bowles, 74, for 17 years, and while they have no children together, Charles had two sons from his first marriage to Princess Diana. Both William and his younger son Prince Harry, 37, have given Charles five grandkids.
