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 Harry and his wife Meghan Markle announced they would be returning to London with their two children for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee events.Their announcement came just minutes after Buckingham Palace announced the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will not appear on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping The Colour.Instead, Her Majesty, 96, will be joined by members of her family who undertake official public roles, including Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall and Prince William and his wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge.Alongside senior royals, Princess Anne and her husband Sir Timothy Laurence will appear with Princess Alexandra.Buckingham Palace said: "After careful consideration, the Queen has decided this year's traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday, June 2 will be limited to Her Majesty and those members of the royal family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen."Shortly after the news, Piers penned: "Queen bans Harry, Meghan & Andrew from Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping of Colour ceremony during Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
Only working royals performing duties for her will attend. Massive snub to the renegade Sussexes and her shamed son. Good decision." Moments later, a statement issued by the Sussexes read: "Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are excited and honoured to attend The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations this June with their children." This didn't go down too well with Piers who commented: "Oh God, they're coming anyway… Wait for the Sussex circus to steal all the focus from the Queen."It will be the first time Harry and Meghan have brought their family to the UK since leaving.
