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 and Camilla made their debut on hit BBC One soap EastEnders on Thursday 2 June. The Prince of Wales, 73, and Duchess of Cornwall, 74, starred as themselves and joined Albert Square's residents with a street party to celebrate the Queen 's Platinum Jubilee.
To mark the special episode, the hit BBC One soap changed its iconic theme tune to celebrate Prince Charles and Camilla's debut, which was aired at the end of the episode.
The Jubilee-themed tune was composed by original theme tune composer Simon May and played as the residents celebrated the Royal visit and made a toast to Her Majesty The Queen’s seventy year reign.
