70 years has taken Charles Philip Arthur George of Windsor to become king. In fact, he is the longest-lived British prince in history.

Brought up in the most sober British tradition, He has been preparing for the moment of his coronation since he was three years old. Seven decades go a long way, to know him publicly quite well and to know that he is a cultured man, interested in social rights and the environment.

But, nevertheless, he does not stand out for his charisma, nor for his empathy. He showed his anger with an assistant right on the day he became king, or a few days later, when it was smeared with a feather.

Until now, he hasn’t had much sense of the ridiculous either, that’s why we’ve seen him dance devotedly, get kissed by your favorite Spice Girlor put on the head any hat that came across.

But if something has marked the biography of Carlos III, it is his story with Diana of Wales. In 1981 they got married. he was 33 years old and a lover whom, as Lady Di herself confessed, she never stopped seeing.

He said it in an interview given shortly after the divorce and shortly before the death of the princess. Although at that time Diana was the great enemy of the British Royal House precisely because she was all a legend to the english peopleCarlos was seen accompanying his two children during the transfer of the coffin.

After the storm, and the great scandal, calm came and, after the yearsCarlos was able to marry Camila. The ex-lover is the one who has accompanied him today and has become queen.

With that, and with today’s coronation, it can be said that perseverance is also one of his strengths.
