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.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "rejected" an Earl title for their son Archie because the proposed name contains the word 'dumb', according to reports.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who will be the subject of a new lifetime film set to be released this autumn, reportedly decided against their son being named the Earl of Dumbarton over fears it would attract cruel nicknames.
Unlike Prince William’s three children, Archie doesn’t have a royal title and instead goes by his full name, Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor.
