The “rebel prince” is still making it his duty tobe the most outspoken of the Royal Family…
Age has been kind to the Prince of Wales, who’s perhaps become a little more comfortable in his own skin as the years have gone on.
However as a fan of rocking the boat, defying his parents – including the reigning monarch – and speaking his mind, Prince Charles has rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way in the course of his 70 years.
Yet, interestingly, as a child he was described by his Scottish governess Miss Peebles as “hypersensitive, lonely, excessively shy and given to quiet pursuits like reading and painting”.
The Prince of Wales was born at Buckingham Palace on November 14, 1948.
And against tradition, the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh decided that little Charles would go to school rather than have a private tutor at the Palace, and so he started at Hill House school in West London in 1956.
In 1958, The Queen created Prince Charles The Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester at just nine years old.
Most of Prince Charles’ education was spent at Gordonstoun, the Scottish boarding school which his father, Prince Philip, recommended – having attended the school as a boy himself.
