Prince Charles Philip Arthur George was born in the evening of November 14 1948, at Buckingham Palace.

Upon becoming heir to the throne - the Prince of Wales is the longest-serving heir apparent in British history - he became known as The Duke of Cornwall and the Duke of Rothesay.

After an education at Hill House school in West London, Cheam School, Gordonstoun near Elgin in Eastern Scotland, and Cambridge University, he served in the RAF and then the Navy.

His marriage to Diana, Princess of Wales, was dissolved in August 1996, and she died a year later in Paris.

The Prince then married Camilla Parker Bowles, The Duchess of Cornwall, in 2005.
