Charles III

Charles III (b. November 14 1948) is the current sovereign of the Kingdom of England who had ruled the Kingdom since the fracturing of the United Kingdom and after the British Civil War. 
==History==
===Early Life===
Charles was born at 21:14 (GMT) on 14 November 1948, during the reign of his maternal grandfather, George VI. He was the first child of Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh (later Elizabeth II), and Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His parents would have three additional children, Anne (born 1950), Andrew (born 1960) and Edward (born 1964). On 15 December 1948, at four weeks old, he was christened in the Music Room of Buckingham Palace by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher.
In February 1952, upon the death of his grandfather and the accession of his mother as Queen Elizabeth II, Charles became the heir apparent. Under a charter of King Edward III in 1337, and as the monarch's eldest son, he automatically assumed the traditional titles of the Duke of Cornwall and, in the Scottish peerage, the titles Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. On 2 June 1953, Charles attended his mother's coronation at Westminster Abbey.
When he turned five, a governess, Catherine Peebles, was appointed to oversee his education at Buckingham Palace. On 7 November 1956, Charles commenced classes at Hill House School in west London. He was the first heir apparent to attend school rather than be educated by a private tutor. He did not receive preferential treatment from the school's founder and headmaster, Stuart Townend, who advised the Queen to have Charles train in football because the boys were never deferential to anyone on the football field. Charles then attended two of his father's former schools, Cheam Preparatory School in Hampshire, England, from 1958, followed by Gordonstoun in the north-east of Scotland, beginning classes there in April 1962.
Elizabeth and Philip were described as physically and emotionally distant parents, and Philip was blamed for his disregard of Charles's sensitive nature and forcing him to attend Gordonstoun, where he was bullied. Though Charles reportedly described Gordonstoun, noted for its especially rigorous curriculum, as "Colditz in kilts", he subsequently praised Gordonstoun, stating it had taught him "a great deal about myself and my own abilities and disabilities. It taught me to accept challenges and take the initiative." In a 1975 interview, he said he was "glad" he had attended Gordonstoun and that the "toughness of the place" was "much exaggerated". He spent two terms in 1966 at the Timbertop campus of Geelong Grammar School in Victoria, Australia, during which time he visited Papua New Guinea on a school trip with his history tutor, Michael Collins Persse. In 1973, Charles described his time at Timbertop as the most enjoyable part of his whole education. Upon his return to Gordonstoun, Charles emulated his father in becoming head boy. He left in 1967 with six GCE O-levels and two A-levels in history and French, at grades B and C respectively. On his early education, Charles later remarked, "I didn't enjoy school as much as I might have, but that was only because I'm happier at home than anywhere else."
Charles broke royal tradition a second time when he proceeded straight to university after his A-levels, rather than joining the British Armed Forces. In October 1967, he was admitted to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read archaeology and anthropology for the first part of the Tripos, and then changed to history for the second part. During his second year, Charles attended the University College of Wales in Aberystwyth, studying Welsh history and language for a term. He graduated from the University of Cambridge with a 2:2 Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree on 23 June 1970, the first British heir apparent to earn a university degree. On 2 August 1975, he was awarded a Master of Arts (MA Cantab) degree by Cambridge. At Cambridge, Master of Arts is an academic rank, not a postgraduate degree.
===Prince of Wales===
Charles was created Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester on 26 July 1958, though his investiture was not held until 1 July 1969, when he was crowned by his mother in a televised ceremony held at Caernarfon Castle. He took his seat in the House of Lords in 1970, and he made his maiden speech in June 1974, the first royal to speak from the floor since the future Edward VII in 1884. He spoke again in 1975. Charles began to take on more public duties, founding the Prince's Trust in 1976, and travelling to the United States in 1981. In the mid-1970s, Charles expressed an interest in serving as Governor-General of Australia, at the suggestion of Australian prime minister Malcolm Fraser, but because of a lack of public enthusiasm nothing came of the proposal. Charles commented: "So, what are you supposed to think when you are prepared to do something to help and you are just told you're not wanted?"
===Military training and career===
Charles served in the Royal Air Force and, following in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and two of his great-grandfathers, in the Royal Navy. During his second year at Cambridge, he requested and received Royal Air Force training, learning to fly the Chipmunk aircraft with Cambridge University Air Squadron. On 8 March 1971, he flew himself to the Royal Air Force College Cranwell to train as a jet pilot. He was presented with his RAF wings in August 1971. After the passing-out parade that September, he embarked on a naval career and enrolled in a six-week course at the Royal Naval College Dartmouth. He then served on the guided-missile destroyer HMS Norfolk (1971–1972) and the frigates HMS Minerva (1972–1973) and HMS Jupiter (1974). In 1974, he qualified as a helicopter pilot at RNAS Yeovilton, and then joined 845 Naval Air Squadron, operating from HMS Hermes. He gave up flying after crash-landing a BAe 146 in Islay in 1994, for which the crew was found negligent by a board of inquiry.
On 9 February 1976, Charles took command of the coastal minehunter HMS Bronington for his last ten months of active service in the navy. In 1978, he took part in a parachute training course at RAF Brize Norton after being appointed colonel-in-chief of the Parachute Regiment a year earlier.
===Life as Bachelor===
Charles's girlfriends included Georgiana Russell, the daughter of Sir John Russell, who was British ambassador to Spain; Lady Jane Wellesley, the daughter of the 8th Duke of Wellington; Davina Sheffield; Lady Sarah Spencer; and Camilla Shand.
Early in 1974, Mountbatten began corresponding with Charles about a potential marriage to Amanda Knatchbull, who was Mountbatten's granddaughter. Charles wrote to Amanda's mother—Lady Brabourne, who was also his godmother—expressing interest in her daughter, to which she replied approvingly, though she suggested that a courtship with the not yet 17-year-old girl was premature. Four years later, Mountbatten arranged for Amanda and himself to accompany Charles on his 1980 tour of India. Both fathers, however, objected; Philip feared that Charles would be eclipsed by his famous uncle (who had served as the last British Viceroy and first Governor-General of India), while Lord Brabourne warned that a joint visit would concentrate media attention on the cousins before they could decide on becoming a couple. However, in August 1979, before Charles would depart alone for India, Mountbatten was assassinated by the Irish Republican Army. When Charles returned, he proposed to Amanda, but in addition to her grandfather, she had lost her paternal grandmother and youngest brother Nicholas in the bomb attack and was now reluctant to join the royal family. In June 1980, Charles officially turned down Chevening House, placed at his disposal since 1974, as his future residence. Chevening, a stately home in Kent, was bequeathed, along with an endowment, to the Crown by the last Earl Stanhope, Amanda's childless great-uncle, in the hope that Charles would eventually occupy it. In 1977, a newspaper report mistakenly announced his engagement to Princess Marie-Astrid of Luxembourg.
===Marriage with Camilla===
Charles had married Camilla, the love of his life in the year 1970, sadly it caused royal drama as the Queen Mother was angry with Queen Elizabeth II for allowing the marriage as she wanted Charles to be engaged with Diana Spencer who was a maternal granddaughter of Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy. The marriage was seen as a scandalous affair and the couple gained hordes of press attention that was negative and positive. Palace courtiers that deemed Shand unsuitable as a prospective consort were demanding that the Queen force Charles to renounce his rights to the throne in order to end the madness of his marriage with Camilla. The Queen then declared Charles no longer fit to be called Prince of Wales and Andrew, Duke of York was declared the new Prince of Wales.
===World War III===
Charles, Camilla and their children fled to the residence of Camilla's family during World War III. The UK parliament decided to wage war against Argentina to liberate the Falklands and many including Charles saw this as a bad idea as Argentina was allies with America (an ally of Britain in NATO) and it has tons of friends in South America would be happy to back Argentina if they were at war with the UK which could result in a Vietnam vs America style war that could result in a catastrophic defeat for Britain and it could cause another incident like the 1956 incident in the Suez Canal. Just as Charles predicted, the British lost the war as Argentina was backed by its allies in South America and this resulted in Britain surrendering the Falklands to Argentina. Chile who sided with Britain in the Falklands war faced fierce instability and chaos as it fractured into two nations. 
The loss for Britain was a disaster for the country as it fell into instability, Thatcher resigned in disgrace but it did not solve the crisis as the monarchy was ousted by the Labor Party and the people. The Labor Party takeover had resulted in multiple civil wars that fractured the UK internally as the Royalists, Nationalists and Communists brawled with each other as they all had various agendas. The royal family (except Charles, Camilla and their children) had fled to France in order to escape the civil war. Charles had declared himself as the leader of the English Nationalists and declared to support them in the creation of a new English kingdom ruled by him. The English Nationalists cheered him and praised him as their leader and they declared the independence of England as a country. Charles and his English Nationalist Supporters waged war with the royalists and the Labor Party and chased them out of England. Charles was declared King of the Kingdom of England as an independent state and that the UK is no longer a nation and the Commonwealth is no more. 
=== The attempted restoration of the Queen ===
Charles becoming King of England and abolishing the commonwealth had caused turmoil in Europe as the royalists and their European allies in NATO (France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark and Norway) all waged war against the Kingdom of England in order to restore the Queen. Charles because of this had decided to forge an alliance with the newly restored monarchies of Central Europe, Southeastern Europe and Eastern Europe and get their help in stopping the backers of his mother from restoring her as monarch. The Nationalist Scottish Kingdom decided to back Charles III in order to maintain its independence as a nation and this with Charles having more international allies than his mother made it easy for Charles and his allies to win the war against his mother. 
Charles rewarded his allies by allowing them to marry their young with the children he and Camilla had in order to strengthen their ties with him in order to have him as their ally against Russia. Denmark, Norway and Sweden had decided to become allies of Germany and England in order to save themselves from an economic depression which was better for Charles as his position as King is now stronger than ever. However his mother, brother do have hope of reclaiming the throne from King Charles III and resurrecting the commonwealth.
