Prince of Wales

 Well I never went over the succession and the titles thereof to the British throne.

Allow me to start with the departed Queen Elizabeth whose death set in place the accession of King Charles III to the throne. Charles was the heir apparent being the Queen's oldest son.

As heir to the throne Charles also had titles including Duke of Rothesay, Duke of Cornwall, and Earl of Carrick. On July 26, 1958, the Queen created Prince Charles the Prince of Wales and with that creation he was also Earl of Chester.

Queen Elizabeth spent over 70 years on the throne when she passed and thus Prince Charles as heir to the throne spent well over 70 years as heir apparent. He is also the oldest person to finally take the throne at 73.

As I mentioned in another post, King Charles created his oldest son Prince William, Prince of Wales since now he is the heir apparent to the UK throne. And bear in mind that we can expect an investiture with William in the future. Charles had his investiture over a decade after he was created Prince of Wales on July 1, 1969.
