70 years of Pharaoh

The new British King Charles III, full name Charles Philip Arthur George, was born on November 14, 1948 in Buckingham Palace in London. He was the eldest son of the then princess of the heir Princess Elizabeth and her husband Edinburgh. After the king of his grandfather George VI in 1952 and passed the throne to his mother Elizabeth, Charles, who was only three years old, became the first heir to the British and Commonwealth Kingdom. As of May this year, Prince Charles officially surpassed Prince Franz I of Liechtenstein, who was reigned in the early last century, and became the crown prince in the history of the world's longest time in the history of the world. With the death of the Queen, this record was finalized in 70 years, 7 months and 2 days.

According to Charles's father's blood, he has a long surname: Shilezuyig Hemaine Thanedeburg Grumxburg. Duke of Fort Forts Friedrich William. And his father, who was originally the prince of Greece and Denmark, after marrying Princess Elizabeth, in order to avoid the conflict of possible inheritance, the mother's surname "Monbaron" was changed. Barton Windsor ". Now after he ascended the throne, the British and all the Commonwealth Kingdoms will also maintain the name of the dynasty of the "Windsor dynasty".

Since her mother was ascending the throne, the three -year -old crown prince Charles automatically won a long series of traditional titles belonging to the British crown prince -the Duke of Corwall in England, the Duke of Rossei in Scotland, Count Karik and Baron Renfuru. and many more. In 1958, he was awarded the highest title of the British Crown Prince by his mother, Prince Wales. When Charles was 7 years old, Buckingham Palace announced that they will break the tradition of British Crown Prince only received private family education and send the crown prince to a private school in West London to study. In 1967, after graduating from middle school, Prince Charles once again broke the tradition of the British king's adult, that is, to join the army, he chose to go to college for further studies. He chose the most prestigious Sanyi College of Cambridge University and studied archeology and anthropology (later turned into history). During this period, he also traveled to the University of Wales for a semester and studied Welsh. He not only became the first British crown prince with a university degree, but also the first "Prince Wales" to truly grasp Welsh.

After graduating from college, Charles followed his father's footsteps and served in the Royal Navy for 5 years. In the process of serving in the army, he mastered the skills of driving fixed wing aircraft and helicopters, and also served as commander on the Royal Navy's Blogonton minesweeper. Of course, it is understandable that it is different from his younger brother York Duke Andrew. As the first heir of the throne, Prince Charles will not be sent to the front -line battlefield to perform any dangerous tasks. His main task is to learn how to do a good job. The crown prince and are always ready to be a qualified monarch.

Prince's love and marriage change

Needless to say, Prince Charles is the most well -known story in the world. This story also starts from the prince's youth.他的舅祖父、那位著名的英军参谋长和末代印度总督蒙巴顿勋爵曾经教导他：“以你的情况来说，在最终安稳下来之前，你要尽可能多地播种野燕麦，尽量多Reap into a woman. But when it comes to marriage, because your wife will eventually appear on the throne. If she has love experience, it will be troublesome. "

It is necessary to admit that this sentence is really harsh, and even a very bad image of the royal family. However, we must realize that in the 1960s and 1970s, the moral standards, standards, and gender awareness of the nobles, including the entire society's acceptance and tolerance of the royal family's expensive lace news, was very different from today. Unexpectedly, Prince Charles did not lack a young girlfriend before marriage. Among them, there were thousands of money from the British Ambassador to Spain, the lady of the eighth generation of the Duke of Wellington, and Diana's sister Sarah Spencer, and The other protagonist of the marriage, Camilla Shangde, is the Queen of Camilla today. In 1980, the 31 -year -old Charles began to date with the eighth -generation Earl Spencer's younger daughter, Diana, who was only 19 years old, and the scandal of the two quickly occupied the layout of the British gossip tabloid. At first, Diana, who was ignorant, was awesome and confused about the entry and exit of the crown prince, but Prince Philip, the father of the Crown Prince, suggested Charles that he should decide whether to marry Diana as soon as possible, otherwise the gossip media speculation will cause irregularity to the Earl Miss Miss's reputation. harm. Moreover, Diana, who is young and has no love history, is also in line with Monbaron's "suggestion" for the future princess.

Prince Charles adopted his father's suggestion and proposed to Diana in early 1981. In July of that year, the two Century weddings were held in the London Paul Cathedral. The youthful and beautiful Diana became the princess of Wales, and it was a good story in the world. In the second year, the eldest son of the two was born. In 1984, the second son Harry was born. Princess Diana also became a business card for the British royal family with her beautiful image and elegance.

But the age difference of nearly 13 has caused the marriage of the two to crack quickly. Five years after marriage, Charles and Camilla, who had married a woman at the time, reburned, and at the same time, Diana also had an affair with her bodyguards and horses. In 1992, the two officially separated. In 1995, in the Broadcasting Corporation (BBC )'s most famous "Wide -angle Mirror" program, Diana said the famous "three people in this marriage, so a bit crowded." Over the New Year, the two who have completely ruptured their relationships have officially divorced. In 1997, Diana and Xin Huan Dodi Fayd suffered a fatal car accident in Paris, and it was unsolvable for the reason: to avoid the paparazzi, driver drunk driving, and even conspiracy theories, and they were different. After this "tragedy of the times", the royal family always retained the title of "the late Princess of Wales" for Diana, while Camilla could only get the low -level title of "Duke of Corwall".

However, since Prince Charles and Camilla got married in 2005, the pair of martial arts did have been away from the scandal and slowly fixed the image of the crown prince due to marriage. After more than 20 years, Charles and Camilla's recognition among the British people have been slowly increased. In 2022, Queen Elizabeth made clear that "sincere hope" was behind her in the 70th anniversary of her reign, and Camilla could get the honor of "His Majesty of the Queen", which resolved the original very troubled. "Queen" is still a problem of "accompanying concubine".

The busiest envoy and charity

As the British head of state and the British head of state, the British monarch undoubtedly has a respectful position, but as a "constitutional virtual monarch", he cannot actually assume political decision -making duties. And according to the British tradition, the Queen himself has the responsibility to participate, listen and signed many of the vulgar services in the UK, and the official duties are extremely busy, and it is impossible to take out time to visit. As a result, Prince Charles, who is also the heir heir of the Commonwealth. Since the 1970s, he has been responsible for the visit to represent the British and British royal family. One of the most Chinese visits is that he attended the 1997 Hong Kong regime transfer ceremony on behalf of the Queen.

In the past ten years, Prince Charles has assumed more and more royal etiquette duties due to the age of Queen and Duke Phillip. In 2008, "Daily Telegraph" described Charles as the most diligent royal family member. This statement was unreasonable. In 2008, Charles attended 560 official activities, in 2010, 499, and more than 600 games in 2011. Moreover, since 2014, the official diplomatic visits of Prince Charles have exceeded hundreds of times, saying that he is the busiest "envoy" in the UK.

In addition to attending domestic and foreign activities, Charles is also a sponsor of many British and international charitable organizations. He sponsored more than 400 charitable organizations and institutions. In 1976, Charles established the "Prince of Wales", and 16 charity organizations were newly established and served as all chairmen. Today, these charity organizations can raise more than 100 million pounds of funds every year for education, sustainable development, building environment, business responsibility, etc. As the Crown Prince of Canada and Australia, Charles also copied the "Prince Fund" model in the two countries and operated well.

Charles has special attention to the relationship between architecture and urban planning and environment. He is committed to improving the quality of life of residents by building or renovation of higher energy efficiency and more friendly environment. The Prince Trust Fund has invested a lot of funds for the reconstruction of the Hai Di Port, the Kabul History Building of Afghanistan, which has been renovated. At the same time, Charles and the public welfare projects sponsored by him also participated in environmental protection, climate change, rescue refugees and other businesses. In May of this year, because the Queen's health was no longer allowed to wear gorgeous royal dresses to participate in the opening ceremony of the Congress, Prince Charles presided over the opening ceremony of the Congress on behalf of her mother for the first time. It is foreseeable that in the future, he will still perform this important royal duty in May each year. However, the identity he attended in the future was no longer Prince Wales Charles, but His Majesty, the King of Kingdom and the Commonwealth Headquarters, Charles III. At that time, His Majesty, Queen Camilla in the United Kingdom, will accompany him.

It is undeniable that because of the 70 -year long governance of the Queen Elizabeth II, not only the British, I am afraid that most of the world will not be used to the British monarch as "king" instead of "queen". The sudden death of the queen will inevitably cause the outside world, especially the countries outside the UK to the Confederate system and even the British monarchy system.

Moreover, Charles III is now very old, and his reign will be shorter than his extraordinary mother. Today, the world is at the crossroads that have not been changed for decades. In the past few years, the British royal family has no shortage of news and even scandals. Whether the British and British Federation can maintain the stability of the monarchy, for King Charles and the entire British royal family, are both difficult problems and challenges in the future. The death of the Queen did marked the end of a era, and the King of Charles III, the head of state, will also lead the British and British Federation to go, and still needs to observe and look forward to it.
