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.
Four months later, and there’s still interest around why Meghan Markle wasn’t at Prince Philip’s funeral. Philip, the grandfather of Meghan’s husband, Prince Harry, died on April 9, 2021, at the age of 99 years old.
His funeral—which was held in St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Chapel on April 17, 2021—was attended by British royal family members like his wife, Queen Elizabeth II; his children, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward; and many of his grandchildren, including Prince William, Princess Beatrice, Princess Eugenie and Prince Harry.
The funeral was also the first time Harry saw the royals in person since he and Meghan moved from the United Kingdom to North America at the end of 2019.
