The eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Charles grew up inside the British royal family's public routines. He attended Gordonstoun in Scotland and later Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied history, archaeology, and anthropology. In 1969, after being named Prince of Wales in 1958, he was formally invested at Caernarfon Castle in Wales. He then trained as a Royal Navy officer, serving from 1971 to 1976 and commanding the minehunter HMS Bronington.
Charles founded The Prince's Trust in 1976 to help disadvantaged young people with training and employment. He became closely associated with environmental causes, organic farming, and traditional architecture, creating the Duchy Originals food brand and the Poundbury development in Dorset. In 1981 he married Lady Diana Spencer; their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, were born in 1982 and 1984. The marriage broke down publicly, ending in divorce in 1996, and Diana died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005; she became Queen Camilla.
