King Charles III is the eldest of the Queen and Prince Phillip's four children. He was born on November 14, 1948. Though King Charles shared a strong bond with his mother, their relationship was strained when the Queen found out about her oldest son's affair with Camilla Parker Bowles while he was still married to Princess Diana. Over the years, the mother-son duo worked out their differences, and if is said that Charles became really close to the Queen in the months leading up to her death.
Back in February, the Queen publicly gave her seal of approval to Charles and Camilla taking the throne. She said, "When, in the fullness of time, my son Charles becomes King, I know you will give him and his wife Camilla the same support that you have given me. And it is my sincere wish that, when that time comes, Camilla will be known as Queen Consort as she continues her own loyal service.” A spokesman for Charles said at the time, “The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall are touched and honoured by Her Majesty’s words.”
