Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will join Canada's Governor General Mary Simon at Rideau Hall on Saturday morning at a ceremony to proclaim the accession of King Charles III as the new sovereign.

As King Charles III assumes the throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, he is already bringing a lifetime of public service — and notoriety — to Buckingham Palace.

Charles is the longest-serving heir apparent in the history of the British monarchy. At 73, the world already had a clear picture of him long before he assumed the crown, thanks to both his tumultuous personal life and his lifelong interest in environmentalism and charitable causes.

Charles was named Prince of Wales at the age of nine, with his investiture held in 1969 when he was 20.
