When King Charles III was a young boy, the royal family took the unique step of sending him to Gordonstoun Boarding School in Elgin, Scotland instead of enlisting private tutors.
The King’s accession to the throne since the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on September 8 makes Gordonstoun the first senior school to have educated a British monarch.
Charles’s time at the school saw him playing lead roles in the schools theatre productions and singing in the school choir.
The then-prince joined the school at aged 13 and was flown there on his first day in a plane piloted by his father, the late Prince Philip.
