Welcome to a very special Collector’s Edition of Royal Life celebrating the Coronation of King Charles III. At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales, who became a Monarch at the age of 73. In fact, he needn’t have chosen to be called King Charles III, because he could have taken his pick from any of his four names - Charles Philip Arthur George.
However, having chosen that name, it means we are entering a new Carolean Age - that being the favoured term when a King Charles is on the throne.
Looking back in history we can see that King Charles I didn’t exactly have a good time of it. He was King of England, Scotland, and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until 1649. He was by all accounts a bit of a tyrant and from 1642, King Charles fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War.
After his defeat in 1645 at the hands of the Parliamentarian New Model Army (you’ve heard their music) he was imprisoned and then executed at the age of 48 for high treason.
