How will a former prince used to speaking out on issues he cared deeply about adapt to the neutrality of a monarch?
Image caption,Charles has become a relaxed and approachable figure when he's meeting the public, getting his audience onside with a few self-deprecating jokes. Perhaps that will change as monarch, but as Prince of Wales he developed an affable, grandfatherly style, with no standoffishness.Chris Pope, who worked with Charles on the Prince's Teaching Institute, describes the new King as a relentlessly busy, driven figure, a "bundle of energy" taking on a huge workload.
The new King's character seems to bring together those themes, which might be seen to be pulling in different directions, of wanting change while wanting to conserve. He's a kind of tweedy radical.
"This is a man who has dinner ridiculously late at night and then goes to his desk and will fall asleep on his notes," said Prince Harry about his father.Charles Philip Arthur George was born in Buckingham Palace on 14 November 1948. When the BBC announced his birth, it wasn't with news that the Queen had had a boy, but that his mother had been "safely delivered of a prince". Four years later, he became heir apparent.
His plans for the Prince's Trust to connect with what he called the "hardest to reach in society" didn't always go down well. A former cabinet minister on the receiving end of Charles' lobbying said he didn't feel under great pressure, but his memory of the new King is of someone with fixed opinions. He saw him as arriving with pre-set views which he wanted to pursue, rather than wanting to engage with opposing arguments.
