The Prince of Wales, who became a grandfather at the age of 64, wishes it had happened when he was younger.
According to one of the guests at his 65th birthday party at Buckingham Palace last week, Prince Charles described “how he really enjoyed being a grandfather and how he wished he had grandchildren earlier”.
The guest adds in the New York Post: “He said he was envious of his friends who already have many grandchildren.”
Charles was 32 when he married Diana, Princess of Wales, and Prince William was 28 at the time of his wedding to the Duchess of Cambridge. This week, it was confirmed that Sir Mick Jagger, who is only five years older than Charles, is due to become a great-grandfather in the new year.

Still, she concedes that woman are under-represented in spy stories, which is why she was happy to take a part in Legacy.
Of the real spy she met, she found him unexpectedly “good-looking and quite flamboyant”. Her last big thriller was Stephen Poliakoff’s disappointing Glorious 39.
