At the age of 73, Prince Charles had been preparing for the crown his entire life. With a lengthy career of duty and service behind him, he has now taken on the role of King, following the death of his mother.
But during his years before taking on the greatest challenge yet, he was still extremely busy, working on many issues close to his heart - and many kind gestures behind the scenes went unreported. Now actor Richard E Grant has praised King Charles III, who arranged to visit his wife before she died from lung cancer last year.
His wife Joan Washington, who was a voice coach to celebrities including Penelope Cruz and Jessica Chastain, died in September last year at the age of 74. Now actor Grant has told how the King was a big fan due to his love of accents, and ensured to keep in touch during her treatment.
