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.
The Queen once reacted hilariously to her eldest son Prince Charles, 73, calling her “mummy” in one of his speeches. Prince Charles took to the stage at Saturday’s Party at the Palace to pay tribute to his 96 year old mother, and gushed over the Queen’s achievement over her last 70 years on the throne. "Your Majesty, Mummy,” he began, using a phrase he's often said in public.
Charles continued: "The scale of this evening’s celebration – and the outpouring of warmth and affection over this whole Jubilee weekend – is our way of saying thank you; from your family, the country, the Commonwealth, in fact, the whole world. "On behalf of us all, I wanted to pay my own tribute to your lifetime of selfless service. "Your family now spans four generations.
