Prince Charles Philip Arthur George was born on November 14 1948 at Buckingham Palace – the eldest son of Princess Elizabeth, now the Queen, and the Duke of Edinburgh.

He became heir apparent on the death of his grandfather King George VI in 1952 when he was only three years old, and is now the longest serving heir to the throne in British history.
