Why is Charles III?

On September 10, local time, King Charles III officially vowed to the throne in the Palace of San James as the new monarch of the UK. Charles III is 73 years old. He is the longest crown prince in British history as the longest heir to the throne. He is also the oldest monarch when he ascended the throne in British history.

Why is Charles III?

It is reported that Charles's full name is Charles Philip Arthur George (Charles Philip Arthur George), and its title can be selected from these four names. Therefore, Charles's title may be Charles III, Philip II, Arthur I, or George VII.

In the past, some people speculated that Charles should follow the royal tradition of George and become George VII. According to previous British media reports, Charles also has a soft spot for the title of George VII, and hopes to inherit this title.

However, Charles chose to use his teaching name as the title of the monarch like his late mother Elizabeth II. There are guessing that Charles may leave the title of George VII to his loved grandson George Prince.

In fact, the name Charles was associated with blood and turbulent history. Charles I was born on November 19, 1600. He was the second son of King James VI of Scotland. In 1625, he successively became the second King of Stuart in the UK. After the throne, Charles I often provoked war with foreign countries, causing major losses to the country. In 1642, Charles I broke into the House of Commons, asking for the arrest of five unsuccessful members, and soon the entire country fell into the civil war between the supporters of the parliament and the king's supporters. Due to the founding of the king's war on the people, in 1649, the House of Lower passed the law to judge the king. Charles I became the only British monarch in history. After the death of Charlie I, Britain entered the Republican era. Charles II was forced to exile overseas, and did not return to Britain until the royal family was restored. Although it was loved by the people during his reign, he was very wave -shaped in life. British historians still cannot judge whether Charles II's political action is out of selfishness or the original intention of the country.

On July 27, 1958, Prince Charles returned to Berkeshire School after participating in the church.

At the age of 3, he became the legal heir

On November 14, 1948, Charles was born in Buckingham Palace. In 1952, as Elizabeth inherited the throne, Charles, who was only 3 years old, became the legal heirs. His growth environment is destined to be different from the previous future monarch.

Foreign media pointed out that Charles reflected the modernization of the British monarchy -he was the first heir who had not been educated at home. The first person to obtain a college degree was the first to grow up with the increasing attention of the media. People, because people's respect for the royal family has gradually faded.

Like many previous royal members, Charles joined the army. He initially joined the Royal Air Force in 1971 and later joined the Navy and promoted step by step.

Reuters described Charles at the time, saying that he was a young prince, with a handsome figure and liked skiing, surfing and diving. He is an enthusiastic polo player and also participated in many fierce games as a jockey.

After retiring from the Navy in 1976, Charles began to seek a role in public life, because the Constitution did not clearly stipulate what the heir should do. "That's why it is so interesting and challenging, and of course it is complicated," Charles said.

Marriage changes make him a "unpopular" person

However, for many British and other countries, Charles is always associated with Princess Diana and Duke of Corwall Camilla.

In September 1984, Prince Charles and Princess Diana took their newborn son, Prince Harry Harry Hospital, London, London.

At first, everything went smoothly, and Charles and Diana's son William and Harry were born in 1982 and 1984. But behind the scenes, there was a problem with this marriage. Diana blamed Camilla for the final breakdown of marriage in 1992. She said in a TV interview: "We have three people in this marriage."

Charles said that he has always been loyal, "until the marriage irregularly ruptured." The couple finally divorced in 1996.

In 1997, Princess Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris. The media had blamed Charles and Camilla, and his public support rate also declined.

Reuters pointed out that in the decades after that, Charles' status has improved, although he is still not as popular as his mother Elizabeth II.

On April 9, 2005, the British King of Charles and the Duke of Corwall, Camilla, left St. George's Church in Windsor.

In 2005, Charles married Camilla. Camilla has become the focus of public attention with its approachable style, and has won more recognition and praise.

However, Diana's shadow still exists. Because major newspapers are paying attention to the interpersonal relationships of Charles, the relationship between Charles and the media often becomes irritable. "I'm really not good at performing monkeys. I think I am a person who pays great attention to privacy. I'm not ready to perform when they want me to perform," he said in 1994. Data map: Charles.

Will it continue the authority of the monarchy?

From the longest time of the heir to the throne in British history, to the new king of Britain, the change of identity has brought a lot of challenges to 73 -year -old Charles. First of all, what he wants to face is how to be a good monarch.

Reuters pointed out that Charles has been sandwiched between a modern monarchy, trying to find its own position in a rapidly changing, more equal society while maintaining tradition.

Historian Ed Ovins said: "He must carefully consider how to shape his image as a public figure." Charles must figure out how to get "public support, a kind of intimacy", which is exactly what Elizabeth II and Britain Features of public relations.

Secondly, some views point out that Charles's boarding position may trigger a debate on Britain's basis of ritual monarchy. Some people think that this is a symbol of the country's unity, while others think that this is an outdated remains of feudal history.

Charles has stated that he intends to reduce the number of members of the royal family, reduce expenses, and better represent modern Britain.

On the 70th anniversary of the ascension, Queen Elizabeth II issued a statement saying that he sincerely hoped that after Crown Prince Charles ascended the throne, his wife Camilla was called the queen, and hoped that people would support Charles and Camilla like he supported himself.

However, the media said Charles must also consider his eldest son William. The royal observers said that Prince William had strong opinions on the structure of the royal family and how to re -assign the royal family. Charles successively became the queen of the British, and his eldest son William has now become the first heir to the throne.

On May 10, 2022, during the opening ceremony of the Parliament of Westminster, London, England, Prince Charles sat next to the queen's crown.

Third, Charles has been lobbying to government departments on issues such as climate change, urban planning, and genetically modified agriculture for decades. These practices involved in public issues have caused concern. People think that members of the royal family should not involve political issues. They are worried that if he succeeds, he may not be outside of political disputes like Queen Elizabeth II.

In this regard, Charles said in a documentary in 2018 that he knew that he would face many constraints when he became the queen, and his behavior would change. In Charles, he has been trying to ensure that personal behavior is not affected by party politics. After the throne, he will do it within the "scope of the constitution" and will not continue to lobby activities. "I am not so stupid."

Will Charles III continue to be loved by subjects like Elizabeth II? This problem is accompanied by more than half of his life, and every day in the future will be faced.
