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.
Charles did not become Prince of Wales until July 1969, at the age of 20. His son William is not William, Prince of Wales, since there can be only one. And if Charles dies before his mother, William will never become or inherit the title Prince of Wales, since the title is given only to the eldest son of the monarch.
