Buckingham Palace has announced today that King Charles has become Captain General of the Royal Marines. The role was held by Prince Philip for 64 years and subsequently by Prince Harry who lost it when he stepped back as a working royal.
Lovely decision of Meghan’s to have Prince Charles walk her down the aisle. Having two sons it’s probably not something that Charles ever thought he would get to do. Although Meghan obviously wanted her father so she must think very highly of Charles to ask him
