Unlike his grandson, Prince George, who will be heading off to Eton College this September, King Charles was educated a lot further afield as a teenager. The monarch followed in his father's footsteps and went to Gordonstoun School in Moray, Scotland.
This made him the first Prince of Wales to be educated at a school rather than by private tutors and the late Prince Philip wanted to send his son a little piece of home to keep with him. Instead of a conventional care package or sentimental photo, the doting dad gave his eldest son something a lot more historic - and unexpected.
