Prince Charles, now 73, is the longest-serving heir to the throne in British history. He was busy on his birthday this year leading the Royal Family at the Remembrance Sunday service.
At the Cenotaph, Charles even laid a wreath on behalf of the monarch, as his mother The Queen had to cancel her attendance last minute due to a back injury.
