PRINCE CHARLES

THIS shit has got really serious now.

Last week it was revealed that Prince Charles, Prince of

Wales and future king, has contracted the coronavirus.

He went straight into self- isolation at Balmoral. His missus, Camilla, has tested negative for COVID- 19.

Nobody can take any chances, not with both of them being over 70.

But now the Prince has had a brush with death, perhaps it’s time to look at some facts about His Royal Highness...

CHARLES was born at Buckingham Palace on November 14, 1948.

AS the monarch’s eldest son, he automatically took the titles Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland.

HE didn’t become Prince of Wales until his investiture at Caernarfon Castle in

1969.

IN 1963, aged 14, Charles was caught in an underage drinking storm after supping cherry brandy at a hotel in Stornoway, on the Isle of Lewis.

IN October 1967, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read anthropology, archaeology, and history. He was the first Royal heir apparent to get a degree – albeit just a 2: 2.

IN 1981, he married Lady Diana Spencer. It didn’t end well.

IN 1986 he provoked much hilarity when he admitted talking to his plants.

IN 1993 recordings of phone conversations between the Prince and his then- lover Camilla Parker Bowles became public. In them, Charles talked about being Camilla’s “Tampax”. WHILE visiting

Australia in January 1994, two shots from a starting pistol were fired at him on Australia Day by David Kang in protest of the treatment of several hundred Cambodian asylum seekers held in detention camps. He didn’t turn so much as a hair. Cool f** ker.

AS well as being a future king, Charles is also a trained jet and helicopter pilot and in 1976 commanded his own warship. Which is also pretty f** king cool.
