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.

He hasn’t got time; he hasn’t got the inclination, and he probably hasn’t got the energy for what would be a potentially difficult conversation.”Indeed, it was reported last month that Charles is reluctant to even speak to the Duke of Sussex, 40, over fears there could be “serious legal jeopardy” given the duke’s ongoing legal case against the UK government.“Here you have the infelicitous situation where the king’s son is suing the king’s ministers in the king’s courts,” a senior constitutional expert and advisor to the royal family told biographer Robert Hardman, via the Telegraph. “That is pulling the king in three directions.”“You also have the situation where the king’s son publishes accounts of private conversations, some of which have been, shall we say, wrong,” they added, referring to the Times of London’s report that Harry “misremembered”.
