When Charles was just three years old, his mother succeeded George VI to the British throne. On that day, Prince Charles, as the oldest son of the monarch, became the heir apparent to the Crown. Unlike many aspiring Kings, Prince Charles was given a broad education that took him far from Buckingham Palace. His father, Prince Philip, insisted that the young Prince experience life away from royalty, as it was among the people that one day might be his subjects. In 1958, Queen Elizabeth named Charles the Prince of Wales. He wa only nine years old. However, eleven years passed before the Queen presented her son to the Welsh people in a colorful and ancient ceremony held at Wales' Caernarvon Castle. In the next few years, honors and accomplishments followed rapidly for the young Prince. In 1970, he gained membership in the House of Lords. The next year, he entered the Royal Air Force College and that same year graduated from its advanced flying course. His exposure to his country's armed services -- both Air Force and others -- to his countrymen, and to a diverse education outside the Palace have made Charles an accomplished ambassador for his homeland. As Charles looks ahead he must use all his early life experiences to chart a firm and responsible course for the monarchy. As heir to the world's only surving major monarchy, Prince Charles faces challenges equal to his demonstrated skills.
