RECORD BREAKERS

This year may be a celebration of the Queen’s 70 years on the throne, but spare a thought for the Prince of Wales, who has waited for his first day at work since the age of four.

Because of the Queen’s epic reign, her eldest son will instantly win a place in the record books when he finally fulfils his destiny. Already in his 70s, Prince Charles will become the oldest person to accede to the British throne – the Pensioner King, if you prefer.
