Prince Charles to begin collecting pension... Still hasn't started job he was born for... -
Prince Charles plans to claim the government pension he qualifies for when he turns 65 on Thursday, but he still hasn't started the job he was born to do.
The eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II has been heir to the throne since his mother became monarch in 1952, when he was 3. He is the longest-waiting heir apparent in Britain's history, overtaking Queen Victoria's son, Edward VII, two years ago.
Charles became a grandfather earlier this year with the birth of Prince George, the first child born to Prince William and his wife, Kate.
Palace officials said Wednesday that Charles will contribute the government pension to a charity that helps elderly people.
The future king is entitled to about 110 pounds ($175) per week because of his service in the Royal Navy and voluntary contributions he has made.
