64 years waiting for the crown, now he's handing it off. Succession, but make it British.
The longest-serving heir apparent in British history, King Charles III has acted as the Prince of Wales for a staggering 64 years. It is a role that he came to embrace and ultimately redefine it in his own way. As the role passes on to his son, Prince William not only has to keep up the tradition of duty and hard work that the royal family has always embodied, but also prepare for his destiny to inherit the crown and become King. As the world remains on stand-by to see how Prince William will take on his new title, does he have what it takes to live up to the legacy of a 'Duchy Original'?
