LONDON (AP) — King Charles III is a man in a hurry.
Germans were impressed. Britons were surprised. Who knew he could speak German?
One reason Charles is so eager to get started may be because he knows he won’t have much time to make his mark.Article content Hugo Vickers, a royal historian and author of “Coronation: The Crowning of Elizabeth II,” compared the new king’s accession to the throne with being named chairman of a global corporation at a time when most people have retired. It’s a job where he will face questions of religion, the armed forces and politics, in addition to running the royal household and mediating family feuds.
“What he wanted to do was to make a school, which was quite unlike other schools at the time, in which half the children were not English,” Townend said. “They came from all over the world, so the children would learn to live with each other, different nationalities, different people, different colors, different races, different religions.”Article content
