## Bio

Born in 1948, Charles became heir apparent at three when his mother acceded in 1952, then endured a famously harsh education at Gordonstoun before Cambridge and a stint in the Royal Navy. His 1981 marriage to Diana Spencer produced two sons but collapsed under mutual affairs and relentless press attention; they divorced in 1996, and she died in a car crash a year later. He married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 after a long partnership. As Prince of Wales he founded the Prince's Trust in 1976, championed historic architecture and built the experimental town of Poundbury, pushed organic farming and climate action through the Duchy of Cornwall, and authored 17 books while drawing fire for backing alternative medicine and opposing GMOs. He became king in 2022 at 73 - the oldest ever to take the throne - faced a cancer diagnosis in 2024, and in 2025 stripped his brother Andrew of remaining honours.
