Charles III

What fascinates me about Charles III is that he spent most of a lifetime waiting. Born in Buckingham Palace, the eldest son of Elizabeth II, he was the world's most famous heir for over seventy years and didn't take the throne until past seventy-three. Yet he never simply idled. He's a polo player, a painter, a helicopter pilot, and an author, and he was sounding the alarm on the environment decades before it was fashionable. I respect that he arrived at the crown with genuine convictions rather than mere ceremony. After such a long approach, I'm quietly watching to see how that accumulated experience reshapes the reign.
