England the land of peace and unity I love this country with all my heart

Well I guess its true that vampires are immortal

Happy birthday, you soulless carcass. The wrong royal was in the car in 1997.

Cóóómo se agarra la tía al trono, eh? Ni con agua caliente, Carlitos jajajaja

Um he could die tomorrow, 🤔🤔🤔

Happy birthday Prince Charles.... Most importantly.... ✌....

Life The assumption made goes against the grain. Queen Elizabeth II is destined to live for a long time.

congratulations

People in England 🇬🇧 don't want Charles as their King 👑 I would pass the crown directly to Prince William 🤴🏻

Wow, he's younger than DJT, Bernie and a whole lot of leaders. Yet he barely walks. Wonder why? His job has been far more easier than elected representatives, he should have more than enough energy.

Eventually? That’s being too certain of an unpredictable thing called life.

You assume he will become king. Edward III thought the same about his son, Edward the Black Prince. However, Edward the Black Prince died in 1376, Edward III in 1377.

I think Her Royal Majesty is more thrilling to the ear 🙄 just my 1Kobo

This assumes he outlives her.

This couple doesn't work, just takes pictures and makes children. Who pays the bill?

He's only 71?

Wow we share same birthday.
