- Preparing for his investiture at Caernarfon Castle five days later, Prince Charles gave an interview to Cliff Michelmore (BBC) and Brian Connell (ITN), in a joint production between HTV and BBC. The programme was recorded at Broadcasting House Cardiff earlier in the month, and transmitted on Thursday 26 June 1969.
Very interesting. How standards have fallen, courtesy, calibre of questions and interviewing.
A thoughtful articulate young man. I guess he's a lot more cynical now.
I think the Prince of Wales (as he was) and now as the King, has little time to indulge himself in cynicism. He knows that a cynical frame of mind is not the best way to live life.
Sounds very much wise beyond his years. Even as a youth, he had empathy for minority groups and tried to put himself in their shoes rather than have emotional reactions.
What a fun person to talk to if you enjoy subtlety and nuance. He is comfortable with himself and honest. He knows he is very blessed with great parents, opportunities.
Yes! He is obviously lovely to talk to. What a remarkable young man. What good luck he should grow up to be king!
DUMBOOOOOOOOOOO IS GONE ON
My thoughts exactly. Some people will watch this and find him rather dull, but I think that couldn't be further from the truth. I think a lot of people have completely missed the fact that he's quite a charismatic man.
21 years old in this interview.
He trusted his parents which is admirable but they guided him wrong.
They chose a terribly wrong fit for a school where he was horribly bullied and basically friendless.
Then his mom chose and forced him to marry a woman he not only didn’t love but was also a terrible match for him.
Two of the biggest decisions in his life they colossally failed in choosing for him.
He got through it but with a lot of scars i think.
In addition to that he was very buddy buddy with that evil man Jimmy Seville
This interview reveals Charles as a complex man who was dealing with a lot psychologically. He is, at this point, acutely aware of his station in life, with all the responsibilities involved. As the heir he has no idea how long that apprenticeship for the ‘top job’ would last. He’s also developing into a man with his own identity, separate from his role. I think it must be extremely difficult being someone in such a position.
Yes, he is in a position unlike anyone else, and yet he comes through it with such good balance and strength. Admirable!
Yeah the poor wee poppet, I'm sure being one of the wealthiest men in world offered him some comfort.
@@anaccount8474 Oh dear, you evidently equate wealth with happiness. It doesn’t always follow.
Scripted
She lived way long than he ever imagined....Royalty is just a artifact of time past, and proved to be absolutely useless
This is how Americans think all English people speak 🤣
It looks like an SNL skit about British aristocrats 💀💀💀
And look....
And we Germans think that all English people are looking like this.
well he now can drink wine, just turned 21
He employs 'Received Pronunciation'.
Love listening to his accent.
I was as impressed with the interviewers' sensible and appropriate questions as I was with the prince's aplomb and intelligent responses. Clearly it was a different period in history, not necessarily better or worse than today, but people were just much more elegant and courteous. I don't lose sight of the fact that just a year earlier, in 1968, all hell had begun to break loose with the nastiest of social unrest in Europe, America, Latin America, and other places throughout the world, so no, it wasn't a bed of roses by any means.
Some head on him 🙈🙈
" in 1968, all hell had begun to break loose with the nastiest of social unrest "
What do you mean by that? The so-called Protests of 1968 and what follewed? There were some unpleasant things indeed but all in all it was a huge social and political progress, only comparable to the age of enlightenment 250 years or so before.
Inteligent and very well spoken. What happened ? Patsy ? By the way Trump WON
@@larslarsson1903 A co vyhrál?
Apparently the Queen and Prince Philip were quite strict about politeness. I think most people were - or at least more than they are now.
Diana was 8 years old at the time of this interview
Come on
Look just like his mama ❤
Only man who looks way better in his 70s than his 20s
RIGHT?! it's so crazy! That never really happens
nah
DUMBOOOOOOOOOOO IS GONE ON
Actually a lot of men look better as they grow old while very few women get better looking. But Charles is definitely a good example of that. He looked like PeeWee Herman in his youth (for those of you old enough to remember PeeWee.)
@@stst77 not even his own son looks better with age. Where as his daughter in law hasn’t age a day since wedding. Men age very badly. King Charles is an exception
I've never seen footage of Prince Charles so young. Oops, make that King Charles.
He looks so much like his mother.
Very charming and humble Prince Charles 🤴 ♥ His voice is brilliant and i could listen to him whole day ❤ ♥ 😀
What a sweet, sensitive, intelligent young man His Majesty was back then. GSTK!
before he founded the WEF. i guess he thinks it his duty to sort out the underlings now. all so sad.
He seems really nice ,articulate and intelligent.
what's all this talk about the fuckin' whales?
He is not that smart,should never have got into that university with his A level results.
@@michaelayling8855
eyes are too close together. is this due to inbreeding?
@@michaelayling8855 Well he did gain his Degree. He came into his own at University when he found himself amongst intellectuals. He had been badly bullied at Gordonstoun.
At University he flourished.
And also has a vayvay
21 here, he looks so young 😆
There is so much to learn from these sort of films / interviews. It can help greatly on how you carry yourself. In the rough estate I grew up in London. They’d laugh at something like this and mug you off. But there so much to learn.
Love his personality. He's thoughtful, funny, sweet.. his voice is so relaxing to listen to. I could listen to him speak for days. And I don't like when people are mean about his looks. Comments about his appearance are so low brow. He had a uniquely attractive look, to me at least. Definitely a long regal face, cute smile, beautiful eyes.. and watching his mannerisms and the way he carries himself makes him more attractive to me.. as well as his personality. He could be like his brother Andrew and be uppity and rude but he seems intelligent and caring.
His brother Andrew was friends with Jeffrey Epstein. Charles was best friends with Jimmy Savile, a known pedophile, just like Jeffrey Epstein.
These royals are not who we think they are. They are sinister people that don't care a single bit about normal people or children. Charles is also friends with Klaus Schwab and promotes the agenda of Schwab's World Economic Forum lobby organisation that wants us to own nothing and be happy.
😂
He had a unique look. He wasn’t the classic idea of handsome but he had some nice features such as his smile. Beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I never found Di attractive at all but many people found her to be beautiful.
It is mind blowing listening to British accent
Very rare BBC & ITV interviewing anyone at the same time on the telly.
Charles III did seem to have a touch of Prince William about him. More than I thought.
I think they both have the same adam's apple! 😆
Sure and obviously more than of Harry.
I think it's the other way around 😅
@@cnamand I don't think Harry's adam's apple is anywhere near as big as William's.
@Harry Raiswell the real question though, is are any of them natural?
The Royal ASMR
I've thought the same about language studies. You need to teach vocabulary first, then you teach grammar. Children that learn to speak a language is s perfect example. If you sat with a baby, who can't yet speak and use the schools method of teaching grammar for 10 years the poor child won't be able to speak more than a sentence by the age of 10.
Extremely intelligent...well spoken. He will be a great King.
Yes! My sentiments exactly. He is most admirable!
@Emdeejay yeah. It's pretty pleasing to see. I agree
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Short tempered 🎉
the honeymoon period is over . .. . . . NO . . . . .
How did such a nice young man turn into..........?
A wanker... he’s pure evil
He is not as he was for sure. Such a change in personality. He seemed humble and down to earth. Now he seems conceited, unapproachable and full of himself.
@@milimosweta4327 Those who meet him say that he is humble, kind and caring and has a lovely sense of humour so perhaps he hasn't really changed much at all.
@@milimosweta4327disagree have met him and he is very self depreciating and charming. It's Harry that's conceited and unpleasant. Charles is soft hearted and kind.
Fascinating interview. He does well at 21 to be interviewed by two well prepared, professional journalists. If one had ever seen his dad or son interviewed, a few similarities among the three men can be seen.
This picture of Charles proves he is the father of Harry. I had believed otherwise for a long time until now.
The nose, shape of head and close set eyes. Yup.
No it doesn't!
Far from it.
I don’t see any Charles in Harry at all. William, yes. Harry, no.
I adore his accent. I’m sad because I feel it’s a dying accent.
Charles doesn't even speak like that anymore
@@seansmith445 Not exactly. The foundation is still there.
@stregadisalem You both are right to be honest
I adore it too, wish people still talked like that
England's language and traditions are dying sadly
when hes grown up i will present him to you at Carnarfon 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
This is the first time I could see that the Mad magazine character was based on Charles.
Such an Extraordinary man these bloody 🖊 pens stink all over my hands ✋️ bloody things
Charles seems to be quite charismatic in that age, I wonder what happened
He was always quite charismatic but he was deliberately cast into the shadows by his vain and attention seeking first wife.
I am glad that Camilla who loves him has brought him back out of the shadows and enabled him to shine again.
HOW ENDEARING
Diana said he’s extremely intelligent.
Did she? In which interview?
@@BlueBerry-bc7yp Try reading some biographies to get a deeper knowledge of Diana and Charles. Not everything is on TH-cam.
@@Stephanie-zd5imYou didn’t have to be rude you Camilla!
eartastic!
He's not my king, but I like Charles. He has a house in the town of Viscri, in Romania. He will come here on the second of June and stay for about a week, for rest and a simple life. Bravo to him!
Did Charles ever meet his grandfather, George VI?
Yes he did.He was very young though.
th-cam.com/video/Tkffa--rQZU/w-d-xo.html Only as a toddler though! George VI passed away when Charles was 4 but here is a video of both of them together
Charles was born in 1948. George VI died in 1952. So almost 4 years together.
16 yrs old! Absolutely amazing young man
He was 20.
Did he say the house keeper texted him?
Sounded like it. I think he said she attacks him with a loud good morning in German.
He was a good looking young man...
His german is superb.
HIS YIDDISH IS GOOD TOO . . . . .
who's here after The Crown Season 3
Is this Alfred E Neuman with combed hair?
James Mason?
Good luck to the new Monarch of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, His Majesty King Charles III!!! :) :) :)
🤣🤣🤣
B"H
Well thank you 🙏 I do sound this bad but I spoke in the right accent for the days going by. I also can speak right down common too I'm a dack horse.
Is he perfect nope but he is a thoroughly decent guy in my opinion.
And perhaps a kinder and more rounded person than many of his critics.
Wait till he takes all your cash, house, land and freedom.... Get back to me then 😂😂
He has kept very close company with predofiles and terrorized a young lady up until she died .... but yeah ... decent bloke.
Btw, diana was having her 8th birthday this same year! What a guy! 😏
@@kc4208 Stop making up shit buddy 😅
@@kc4208 predofiles 😆😆 you're so thick it's hilarious
omg those ears
He was obvious a very sensitive child and England has never sensitive toward their children.
Ahhhh yes, when Great Britain was a wonderful place to grow up.
People respected themselves and one another. Sadly all one now
I always love hearing him speak...til this day.
very interesting
King Charles as a young prince of wales
King charles was so handsome and full of confidence in this interview
?!? 🫣
Stop. He has never been attractive.
@@MiamiPush2theLimit this is my point if view
He is ugly but clever.
Nice Ears.
Oh how the language has been gibberished in such little time.
An articulate, pragmatic young man who is now King. For those who are not in favour of a monachy, please share with us what it is that you would like to see as a replacement institution. I think we should be told.
This odious individual is a major signatory to the great reset through his lead role within the WEF. He’s a traitor who thinks illegal migration is a price worth paying whilst never worked a day in his life & owning 90% the UKs land. He’s never turned a palace over to a refugee. He’s a hypocrite whilst believing in just stop oil activists! I believe in monarchy, providing they know their place; clearly he does NOT.
we already have a replacement institution - government.
@@sxlty6005 Er...not exactly. The UK's political set up is known as "The King in Parliament. The "government" is limited to the Executive (Cabinet). If that's all we have, a "government", then our democracy will disappear in a nano second. The parliamentary system of government must include the Legislature (House of Commons/House of Lords) and the Judiciary. These three arms of the UK's system are held together by a common thread - the Monarch.
He’s turned into a nasty vile man!. Anything will be better than these Gangsters...
@@douglasrutter6809 he's got to pretend to be interested in other faiths and races or he'd get crucified as a racist. Use your f¥cking grey matter
Very interesting interview. Knowledgeable and sophisticated. Those ears though. ......
@@HideousHenry1666kmph u blind?
I think he was a handsome young man who has aged gracefully.
He was about 21 there
The Prince has a very good approach to life with a good sense of humour.Is an excellent thinker well beyond his years of experience.Will make a excellent King with the ability to consider all options and be able to make good decisions that are practical.This young man is a genius that has not been fully recognised.God save the King.😇😇😇😇😇
Not quite genius, but certainly a very balanced man of intellect, wisdom and delicacy.
Sad what he became😮
I quite agree actually
Jolly MARVELLOUS!!!
20 years later, Wales was more-or-less shot...industries failed, communities deserted, national spirit dissipated.
Ah...but you still have JPR, Gareth Edwards and memories of the Arms Park
Don’t recall seeing his profile before. 5:09
Get used to it. It will be on your coins
Most of us would get dry-mouthed in such a situation. Yet Charles seems to be constantly drying his lips . . .
He was groomed since birth.
So nice to hear someone speaking English in an intelligent way. Not like today where they let people with working class accents on television.
Handsome man
Jim fixed it for the young Prince
4:01 how can a cleaning lady in 1969 who doesn't have a cell phone back then text him??
Very upper-class southern English vowels - "attacks"
How thoughtful and intelligent he was even as such a young man. Honest and likeable.
What do you mean by even as a young man. This implies he is still thoughtful and intelligent
Just as handsome back then as now 😂😂😂😂😂😂
He's the image of the lad on the cover of MAD magazine.
I do think he's handsome
@@ineffablemars I'm sure you'd find Quasimodo sexy too
He’d look okay without those elephant ears
Plug from the Bash street kids . . . .. .
What a fabulous interview,i didn't realise how intelligent,compassionate and happy and sweet he was and confident too,long live King Charles.
I agree.He shows intellectual maturity at such a young age. Emotional maturity probably came later. He has a keen mind and curiosity. I am rather surprised. Well, his father, Prince Philip, had exceptional intelligence and appeared to have a very intriguing inner workings of his mind and inner wealth.
Tell that to Diana...oh wait that's right you can't, she's dead. Charles had her killed
the comments are hilarious
He resembles his brother, Edward, here.
Thank you David Boothroyd!
Charles was handsome ❤
A beautiful calm and collected person ... thoughtful brilliant and fit to be King
18:16 AMAZING INFO
It's announced that the male heir to the British throne will become the Prince of Wales... so what else is new?
He became more charming as he got older, i know only E as welsh 0:49
I thought King Charles reminds me of Alfred E. Neumann from the MAD magazine. He might not laugh about that.
He has always been self deprecating and often laughs at himself.
He has a great sense of humour.
Our King now
😂😂😂😂😂😂
you nob ... lol
He was really nice looking.
We should all speak that way. Yankees used to speak very good English too but now I cannot understand the US accent at all , it’s appalling and sounds so uneducated
His eyes are not those of a young man
If I was him I wouldn't have given an interview, a recorded statement would be better, like the queen did, of course he probably did not have a choice in the matter.
I wish that accent is never lost
3:17 tutorial for the ladies LOL
Lol😂
That's me in my first date
It’s baffling how Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, both very attractive people in their day, could produce such an odd and awkward looking child.
But have you seen the childhood pictures of Queen Elizabeth!!
@@bethr8756 Yes.
@@direfranchement She had to grow into her face.
@@bethr8756 No she didn’t.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. He's a very average looking man, so was his mother at his age. Philip was handsome as a young adult though.
Looks smart.
He looks like a tall, British, Maculey Culliken.
God save The King
Funny Charles refer his mom as queen instead of just mom
Hope you don’t mind me correcting you, but in England Mom is pronounced Mum. In later life he would jokingly call the Queen Mummy.
Good point. Hmm..
I think that’s a formality. It’s possible he called her something different privately in the home, I don’t know.
1:15 He really looks like his sitting image character.
pardon ?
sitting image 😆😆😆😆
These thick comments are comedy gold
Wales doesn't claim him
ime sure hes very upset...
Yes they do
Can someone explain to why people hate him? I heard he cheated on someone? I don't follow or care about British royalty so I need a primer on why he gets so much vitriol.
Young Charles when he wasn't spoiled by older women who knew how to manipulate him. His ears made him clearly a bullying and mocking target, how could they let him go through with that?! It's amazing and sad to see how he changed for the bad with resentment, jealousy, inferiority feelings which he took out in bad ways towards Lady Diana Spencer 😢 so much pain and only ONE person benefitted from all this...
‘Camilla Sums Up Everything That’s Wrong With the Royal Family | Opinion
By Mic Wright On Sunday, July 17th, 2022 at 3:00 AM EDT
“Oh, but isn’t she one of the good ones?” That’s what someone said to me when I mentioned I was writing this piece about Camilla, wife of the heir to the British throne Prince Charles. It’s a misapprehension that many people labor under; that there is any such thing as “a good one” in the royal family. Of course, with a brother-in-law like Prince Andrew, Camilla can only look good by comparison - but her current public persona is merely the product of a long and careful PR effort.
The most telling line in a recent forelock-tugging Times article about Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, by the paper’s royal commentator Valentine Low was this: “She went out of her way to make friends with the press, focusing particular attention on the Daily Mail, the paper that had always been most strident in its criticism of Camilla.”
Last weekend, that coziness with the Mail group bore its latest fruit as the Mail on Sunday previewed an ITV documentary on Camilla guest-editing Country Life with a gushing piece. Amid a deluge of trivia about dogs, gnomes, teddy bears and “sneaky ciggies with Jeremy Clarkson,” readers were assured that the “image of Camilla with a twinkle in her eye [is what] many at the Palace and no doubt the Queen herself would wish the public to see.”
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall attends the annual Diplomatic Reception at Buckingham Palace on December 5, 2017 in London, England. The Duchess has enjoyed a transformation in public perception over the past two decades.

And that’s the point. The transition of Camilla, who turns 75 on Sunday, from hated mistress to beloved establishment figure has all been about an image that the Royals “wish the public to see.”
After a recent spate of financial scandals for Prince Charles, the reasons for pushing Camilla to the fore are transparent. We’re meant to be reassured by her stolid presence and to admire the apparent transformation of “the laziest woman in England” (as a former adviser once dubbed her) into one of the hardest ‘working’ royals.
But beyond those royal engagements - required to give an impression of purpose - and the endless courting of the press, what’s really changed about Camilla? Nothing. She remains a woman of enormous wealth who likes dogs, hunting and a life of grandeur. What we’re witnessing now is the latest stage of something that started a year before the death of Princess Diana, when Prince Charles hired the PR man Mark Bolland and “Operation PB” - the plan to rehabilitate Camilla’s public image - began.
Guest-editing Country Life, appearing in Vogue, and acquiescing to the ITV documentary - in which Prince Charles barely appears - are all moves that share the same air of calculated spontaneity. We are being sold the Duchess of Cornwall as a product - at once plain and simple but reassuringly expensive like the biscuits her husband sells under the Duchy Originals brand.
There’s no such thing as a true royal reporter; they are a grim combination of gossip columnist and stenographer. A full acceptance of what Prince Harry called an “invisible contract” between the tabloids and the royal family is behind the rehabilitation of Camilla. That’s why she sums up everything that is wrong with the institution - a patronising face put on endless privilege, an image that we’re assured by courtiers and a client media is reality.
I don’t particularly blame Camilla herself. To borrow the immortal words of Mariah Carey, I don’t know her. But what I do know is that her status as “one of the good ones” is a triumph of marketing which doesn’t stand up to any kind of scrutiny.
