Officially crowned as the heir apparent to the British throne in 1969, Prince Charles has the distinction of being the longest serving heir apparent in history—some 70 years and 214 days from the time that his mother, Elizabeth II, acceded to the throne in 1952 and her death in 2022. This trio set of medals is one of a number of medals that were issued for the Prince's ceremony, with the now-king taking the name Charles III following Elizabeth's death.
