How did Christopher Columbus die? Despite the dangerous voyages that Columbus undertook he survived all of his four trips to the Americas. According to his personal diary at about 51 years of age he began suffering from pain during urination, swelling and pain in the knees, and conjunctivitis (pink eye).
Charles was born at Buckingham Palace on 14 November 1948, at 9.14 pm (GMT), the first child of Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and first grandchild of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth.
Charlesâs relationship with his siblings was bound to become more distant as the years passed. Since November 14 1948, the date of his birth, the Prince of Wales has been engaged on a journey to a single destination. His sister and brothers, on the other hand, enjoyed no such certainty, having to invent careers for themselves, and re-invent them, sometimes with unfortunate consequences.
