-Here'st In many ways, they're the first family of the world - the British royal family are the most admired and talked- about people in the world. But here are twenty things you probably didn't know about the Queen and Prince Charles, who one day will be king.

But he also hated Gordonstoun school, and begged his grandmother, the Queen Mother, to persuade Prince Philip to take him away. She was sympathetic,. bul in- sisted it was his duty to see il through. 2. Under his captaincy, the first XI soecer team of Cheam School lost every mateh of the term. Goals against: 82. Goals for: 4. One of his former girlfriends, millionaire Lord Manton's curvy daughter Fiona Watson, had previously bared her venerous 38-23-35 charms across 1! pages of the girlie magazine Penthouse.
