He ascends the throne with 73 years of age. Until now the record was held by William IV, the English monarch acceded to the throne in 1830 at the age of 64 years and 309 days. But from the moment of the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, Charles of England will become the oldest king to accede to the throne at 73 years old. King William IV was the third son of King George III of the United Kingdom and Duchess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Sytrelitz and, during his early years, he resided at Kew Palace where he was educated by private tutors. During his youth, he served in the Royal Navy—which, later, caused him to be nicknamed “the Sailor King.” During his reign, several reforms were promoted, such as the revision of the Poor Law, the democratization of municipal government, the restriction of child labor and the abolition of slavery throughout the British Empire. But above all, William IV is known for the Reform Act of 1832, also known as the “Reform Act of 1832”, which modernized the British electoral system. Charles of England was born on November 14, 1948 and is the eldest son of the Queen isabel II. Given the longevity of his mother, the truth is that throughout his 73 years of life he has been a concerned and busy man in many subjects, especially in the humanities and in recent decades in the environment and in all the causes that they have to do with caring for the earth and the impact of pollution on the acceleration of climate change. Charles of England founded The Price Trust in 1976, during a charitable event sponsored by his own foundation The Prince’s Charities, as well as serving as a patron of numerous social organizations and campaigns. As an environmentalist, he has been recognized on numerous occasions around the world. He supports the use of alternative medicine and in particular the controversial homeopathy, criticized by various medical communities. He is a spokesman for the so-called “social architecture” and for the preservation of historic buildings in his country. He will foreseeably accede to the throne as Charles III of England.
