Is Charles getting impatient to be king?
Prince Charles is pretty much performing all the royal duties as “King of the United Kingdom”, he’s got the ball rolling already just without the title yet. He also carries out a full schedule of royal duties and, increasingly, is taking on more duties from his elderly parents as official representative of the Queen and deputy for his father. Note: If he ascends to his mother’s throne after 18 September 2013, the Prince, who turned 59 in November 2007, would become the oldest successor to do so. He is both the third-longest serving heir apparent and third-longest serving Prince of Wales in British history.
