Happy birthday to King Charles III, who was born as Prince Charles, on 14 November, 1948, in Buckingham Palace. ⁣ ⁣ King Charles III ascended to the throne this year and will be crowned next May. ⁣ ⁣ Flashback to 1969 when he was officially crowned as the Prince of Wales at a special ceremony overseen and organised by Lord Snowdon and crowned by his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at Caernarfon Castle. This is one Norman Parkinson’s special series of official photographs to mark this event.⁣ ⁣ 📸 by Norman Parkinson⁣ ⁣ Purchase fine art from the archive: iconicimagesstore.net or contact: [email protected]⁣ ⁣ License photography from the archive: iconiclicensing.net⁣ ⁣ #princecharles #kingcharles #kingcharlesIII #birthday #normanparkinson #photographer #photography #iconicimages #iconiclicensing #crown #blackandwhitephotography #Wales #princeofwales #caernarfoncastle #britishroyalfamily #britishroyalty #royalfamily #royalty #monarch #britishmonarchy #monarchy #portrait #buckinghampalace
