In 1958, at Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, 10-year-old Charles knelt before the Queen and accepted the canonization, officially becoming the Crown Prince of the United Kingdom, which means that after a hundred years, he will become the king of the United Kingdom and commonwealth countries. However, he may not have imagined that he would set a record in British history: the person who held the throne for the longest time.
Charles was canonized as Prince of Wales at the ceremony
Prince Charles, whose full name was Charles Philip Arthur George Mountbatten Windsor, was born on November 14, 1948. At the age of 4, his mother Elizabeth II ascended the throne, and in the same year he was crowned Duke of Cornwall and at the age of 10 he was crowned Prince of Wales. Prince of Wales, equivalent to the Northern Song Dynasty's "Prince Yin Jing", is a special title for the Crown Prince. His canonization as Prince of Wales meant that he would become king of England and the Commonwealth in the future.
But I didn't expect that this wait was 62 years, and the queen with a long standby time still had no intention of passing on the throne. In 1990, Charles attended the enthronement ceremony of Emperor Akihito of Japan as Crown Prince, when Naruhito was still a child. 30 years later, Naruhito also ascended the throne as emperor, and Charles still attended the ceremony as crown prince, breaking the record set by his great-great-grandfather.

Prior to Prince Charles, the longest-serving crown prince was Edward VII, charles' great-great-grandfather. He was granted the right to the throne on 9 November 1841, but did not formally succeed to the throne until 22 January 1901, when his mother, Queen Victoria, died. He served as Crown Prince for 59 years, 2 months and 13 days. And now Charles has broken his record.
Because of this, there are many memes circulating on the Internet, such as "Is there a prince of the world for 60 years?" "As long as Your Highness gives an order, the Army is willing to provide for His Highness to drive and rush into Buckingham Palace..." and so on. Of course, these are just paragraphs. Even if the Queen abdicates now, the chances of Charles taking the throne are slim. Charles seems to have been unloved by his parents since childhood, his father Prince Philip was a soldier, and he did not like Charles's soft personality, and at a royal banquet, he even let little Charles wear clown corduroy pants to participate, so that little Charles was out of the ocean. His mother was also very strict with him, not letting him attend his beloved private school, but sending him to an unknown rural public school.
Charles and his mother as a child
The tension of the parent-child relationship when he was a child created Charles's relatively withdrawn and rebellious personality. As an adult, Charles's actions made the relationship between him and his mother even more strained when it came to marriage. Charles's first love was Camilla, but Camilla had several relationships before falling in love with Charles, and such an experience would only bring shame to the royal family. With the Queen's interference, Charles eventually married Diana, who was the Queen's chosen daughter-in-law.
Charles was not impressed with the marriage imposed on him, and he and Diana had no affection. Five years after their marriage, the two began to separate, during which time Charles and his old lover Camilla had been disconnected. Later, Camilla even openly moved next door to Charles and became a female version of lao wang.
Charles's two marriages, Camilla on the left and Diana on the right
After Diana's death in a car accident in 1997, the relationship shifted from underground to overground, and in April 2005, Charles and Camilla married, a practice that caused great controversy in the royal family and brought the crown prince's reputation to the bottom. Because Camilla was Catholic and did not maintain her virginity before marriage, she would not be able to receive the title of "Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales" under the British Marriage Act 1772.
She was only given the title of "Duchess of Cornwall", a knighthood charles had received when he was 4 years old. And according to the bill, even if Charles inherits the throne in the future, she will not be able to obtain the title of "Queen's Majesty", but only the title of "Royal Highness the Queen's Concubine", which will create a record in British history: for the first time, there will be a legitimate spouse of the king who cannot use the title of queen.
At least it seems to be a mother's kindness and filial piety
But fortunately, the marriage between the two did not survive until the crown prince ascended the throne, and the royal family was relieved that they finally did not have to face such an embarrassing situation. In 2014, the two began divorce proceedings because Camilla's alcoholism overwhelmed Charles. She blackmailed £200 million in compensation for revealing royal secrets, which angered her mother-in-law, Elizabeth II, who claimed that a son would not be given to her.
Charles, who worked at Hageloff Manor, was like a farmer
There are reports that Charles has renounced the right to inherit the throne and that the queen will be succeeded by the eldest grandson, Prince William, in a hundred years, but this information has not been confirmed. Charles is 74 years old, has reached the age of "from the heart to do not exceed the rules", perhaps it is really open, he has invested all his energy in the operation of The Haguelov Manor, bent on becoming the king of the "Kingdom of Flowers".
