Which of King Charles's passions inspires you the most, and why?

His decades-long commitment to (environmental) sustainability. Long before climate change became a 'mainstream' concern, he was advocating for organic farming, sustainable practices, and warning about plastic pollution and deforestation. He often faced ridicule for positions that are now widely accepted and never gave up. He can be very proud of himself !!

Happy birthday to the His Majesty King Charles III!

Here some of my favourite quotes about him:

"He’s a good, kind, thoughtful man who was way ahead of his time... He’s a farming hero, food hero and a very nice fella." - Tom Parker Bowles

"My grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him. He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that." - Queen Camilla

"When I was about 18 years old, I had the wonderful experience of auditioning for The Prince’s Trust … the grant ‘gave me my start and my career." - Idris Elba (talking about the The Prince's Trust)

"Without the Prince's Trust I wouldn't be standing here, obviously. I would probably be on the streets. Because of what the Prince's Trust has done, what all you lovely people have done, I'm stood here today and I can't say thank you enough." - Aidan Sayers (The Prince's Trust awardee)

KING GEORGE VI and QUEEN ELIZABETH at Farnborough Aerodrome, where they watched an R.A.F. display, July 7, 1950.

‘Their Majesties were there, humour was also present, that’s clear enough from our picture. The King passes on the joke to Mr. Henderson, Air Secretary.’

I was a shockingly bad skater; Alec was much better. I remember that the Prince of Wales was courageous, but not very proficient; and that the Duke of York was - typically - much better than he thought he was.

Shrewsbury icon painter creates King's gift to Pope Leo

Aidan Hart made an icon of St Edward which was gifted to The Pope at the Sistine Chapel.

"You're praying with colour, like a musician gathers notes and makes a symphony." That is how Shrewsbury-based icon painter, Aidan Hart, describes the process of creating his religous works of art. He has received commissions from all over the world and has had several from King Charles III. Notably he designed the anointing screen for the Coronation, and recently was asked to create a piece of work to be gifted to Pope Leo. The icon, of Edward the Confessor, a canonised King of England, was given to Pope Leo on Thursday, after he and the King prayed side by side in the Sistine Chapel. "It's a great honour to have been asked in the first place," said Mr Hart. ...He said it was a "real joy" to see it handed over on the historic occasion, as the KIng became the the first British monarch to pray with a pope since the Reformation in the 16th Century. "He [King Charles] really is a servant, I think that's what I love about him," said Mr Hart. "All the commissions and meetings I've had with him have shown me what a wonderful servant he is to the people, he really works hard, he doesn't sort of lounge around and do nothing."

Why is George VI your favorite monarch?

He never wanted to be King. He grew up shy, nervous and overshadowed by his “charismatic” older brother, and yet the accepted the burden of kingship with no complaints.

He’s very admirable.
