On June 2, 1953, Elizabeth was crowned and officially became the Queen of England. After being crowned, Prince Charles, who was only 5 years old, put his mother on his head with the crown he placed on the table. The pure gold Edward crown was too heavy, which made Charles fall a big blow. Until today, his mother, Queen Elizabeth, is 94 years old and has no intention of abdicating. Charles himself is also a wrinkled old man. The British hope to surpass this unpopular first heir and let the second heir. Prince William directly become king. Charles himself didn't know whether this crown could be really worn on his head again.
However, at the beginning, people still had high hopes for him. Charles was born in 1948 when material scarcity was extremely poor. People still sent him various gifts such as baby clothes, bottles, diapers, toys, etc. He was born in the eyes of the crowd, carrying all the blessings of the British. As the highly anticipated heir, Charles has also received the attention and love of the people and was also the elegant prince in the girls' dreams. Moreover, like his mother, Charles has his own clear responsibilities and is loyal to the motherland and the people. From the moment he chose Diana as his wife, tragedy seemed unavoidable.
Charles was born, his mother Elizabeth was not the queen. She insisted on breastfeeding Charles himself, but it stopped two weeks later because she suffered from measles. In order to avoid transmission to the children, the mother and son had to separate. Later she became the queen and became too busy with work. Charles didn't have much time with her mother since she was a child. In 1957, Prince Philip insisted on sending 9-year-old Charles to a folk school, trying to let the prince communicate with the people and learn knowledge that cannot be learned in the royal family. The queen also believed that this would bring more benefits to the children.
This folk school is located in Scotland . The conditions are extremely simple. The teaching building has been disrepaired for a long time and there is only a steel wire bed in the dormitory. But the school has very strict requirements on the children, and Charles is not taken care of because of his status as a prince, and sometimes has to accept some extra labor. For Charles, who was not old, this kind of life made him feel very painful. He used to be in the royal family. Although he was not accompanied by his mother, he was always cared for by his grandmother and lived a happy life. However, under this serious discipline and a repressed collective life, Charles's grades have always been very good.
Although primary school life is unpleasant, it finally passed smoothly. Middle school life is a disaster for Charles. Charles High School was sent to Gordonston High School to study. The principal also specially held a school-wide teacher-student meeting, ordering all children not to bully Prince Charles , otherwise they will face heavy punishment. However, the children of the rebellious period quickly regarded Charles as public enemy, and they united to bully the prince, leaving Charles in distress. What bothers Charles not only the hostility from his classmates, but also the ubiquitous harassment of reporters. They go deep into all aspects of the prince's life, and it is precisely because of this period of experience that Charles has always hated reporters.
During this period, Charles was extremely depressed and kept writing letters to the Mountbatten Lord he trusted, telling him how he was clamored by his classmates and how he was excluded by his classmates. Lord Mountbatten felt sorry for the prince and told the queen and his wife about it. Queen Elizabeth realized the seriousness of the problem. They completed the transfer procedures for Charles, and Prince Charles was transferred to a high school in Australia. In this school, students didn't mind his identity as a prince or his personal behavior. Without the disturbance of reporters, Charles' life became much calmer.
Here Charles can study with peace of mind, and his grades are also very excellent. At the age of 19, Charles entered the university of Cambridge to study. He liked literature, and he achieved good results in history, philosophy, and anthropology. He successfully obtained a bachelor's degree in and became the first crown prince in the British royal family to obtain a bachelor's degree.The mayor of London awarded him the title of " Honorary Citizen ". Speaking of his future plans, Charles decided to join the Royal Air Force and the Navy, and he wanted to make more contributions to the country.
Charles is indeed very talented. During his service in the Air Force, he obtained the qualification of a fighter pilot. During his service in the Navy, he participated in the specific work of various ships. After retiring, as the heir to the throne, he participated in the royal work, studied and handled state affairs, and helped his mother share official duties. Charles did a great job, and he also actively participated in charity and charity activities, which was highly praised by the people. If the scandal with Camilla was not exposed later, Charles' reputation would have been very high.
