The Prince of Wales and Queen Elizabeth’s eldest son, Prince Charles Philip Arthur George was born at Buckingham Palace on Nov. 14, 1948, four years before his now 92-year-old mother ascended to the throne following the death of her father George VI.
Heartwarming family photographs of the heir apparent with his sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren were released in honour of the birthday. The five princes, three duchesses and one princess are all coloured-co-ordinated and wearing shades of blue and white.
To mark his birthday, Prince Charles will attend a special tea party heralding 70 inspirational people who also turned 70 this year. The family will later today celebrate the 70th with a glamorous private evening party hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace.
