Charles is the new king of the United Kingdom after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. After living in the shadow of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, Crowned British King at 73after her predecessor passed away at the age of 96 and after just over 70 years of reign.
Born in London in November 1948, under the secular name Carlos Felipe Arturo Jorge, he attended his mother’s coronation when he was just three years old and immediately became Duke of Cornwall, a title bestowed upon the British crown’s heirs. grants the throne.
Educated in England and Scotland, he married the aristocrat Diana Spencer at the age of 33. The following year, in 1982, Diana gave birth to their first child, Prince William, and just two years later, in September 1984, her brother, Prince Harry, was born.
After 11 years of marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales announced their separation and later, in August 1996, the divorce was ratified. In August 1997, while on a trip to Paris, Diana was involved in a car accident that killed her.
After announcing his divorce from Diana, Carlos confirmed a romantic relationship with Camila Parker, whom he had known for years. In fact, in 1994, the heir gave an interview to the BBC, where he confirmed that he had been unfaithful to Diana with Camila.

In recent years, after being in the shadow of his mother for decades, Prince Charles is gaining more prominence in official acts, as the queen added years and was plagued by her health problems. One of Carlos’ last interventions to replace the Queen was at the opening ceremony of the British Parliament, held in May 2022. Elizabeth II was absent due to “mobility issues”, although Buckingham Palace said his non-appearance was decided at the last minute.
However, as Queen Elizabeth grows older and glimpses Charles’ accession to the throne, the British people lose their affinity for the monarchy. The latest survey conducted by the YouGov firm on the Queen’s platinum anniversary notes that support for the crown has declined by more than 13 percent over the past decade.
The demographic study shows that the crown-related population has increased from 75% in 2021 to 62% in 2022. All this is added to the fact that more than a fifth of those polled think the UK should have elected a democratic head of state to replace the monarchy.
