Prince Charles quotes are just what you need if you are in the mood for feeling “ever so British.”
Prince Charles, born Charles Philip Arthur George on 14 November 1948, also enjoys the positions of the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, as well as the Duke of Cornwall in South West England, among other honors.
Before we get to the quotes, you may be interested to read that Prince Charles is in fact the longest-serving heir to the throne in British history, having been so since 1952.
Having married Princess Diana in 1981, Charles has two sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, and one grandson, Prince George, with another royal baby on the way soon.
Prince Charles quotes are possibly the most quintessentially British thing in the world, as you will read for yourselves.
There’s just something about Prince Charles that makes him the most British thing ever, from his rosy complexion to his bumbling British accent, for some people the future King of England is more like a cartoon character than a real person.
Nevertheless, Prince Charles is very real, and is a big proponent of extensive charity work which he carries out tirelessly in his capacity as one of the most influential members of the British royal family.
