King Charles III

King Charles III is the current monarch of the United Kingdom. He is newsworthy due to several recent events. His brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew), has been urged to testify before the US Congress regarding his connections to Jeffrey Epstein, and Charles stripped Andrew of his royal titles in October. Charles recently praised the late Eva Schloss, a Holocaust survivor and Anne Frank's stepsister, for her work against prejudice. He also bestowed honors on Idris Elba and Cynthia Erivo in the New Year's list. Furthermore, King Charles is scheduled to deliver a televised message about his cancer diagnosis and "recovery journey," which was announced last year, though the specific type of cancer remains undisclosed. These events highlight his role as head of state, his handling of family matters, and his public engagement with important social issues.
