His Name Is Earl
Christened Charles Philip Arthur George in Dec. 1948, the young Prince would shoulder further titles from the age of three when his grandfather died and his mother Elizabeth ascended the throne. Now heir apparent, the toddler became the Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. If he outlives his mom, he'll be crowned King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.
