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.
Queen Consort Camilla and Princess Beatrice have been given important new royal roles under King Charles III’s reign. Charles formally became King on September 10, just two days after Her Majesty the Queen’s passing.
The monarch is expected to have his official coronation at some point next year. In the wake of him taking the throne, some new members of the Royal Family have become Counsellors of the State – Beatrice, 34, and Camilla, 75, included.
Counsellors of State are currently the sovereign's spouse and the next four people in the line of succession over the age of 21.
Previously these roles were occupied by Prince Philip until his death in April 2021, then Prince Charles, Prince William, Prince Harry and Prince Andrew.
