Charles Philip Arthur George, a distinguished individual, holds the esteemed position of King of the United Kingdom and fourteen other Commonwealth realms. His remarkable journey to the throne began on September 8, 2022, following the untimely passing of his mother, the revered Queen Elizabeth II.
As the Duke of Cornwall and Duke of Rothesay from 1952 to his ascension, Charles III made history as the oldest and longest-serving heir apparent in British history. Additionally, he holds the distinction of being the longest-serving Prince of Wales, having held the title from July 26, 1958, until his coronation.
At the age of 73, Charles III has set a new record, becoming the oldest person to assume the British throne, a feat previously achieved by William IV at the age of 64.
