The set that brings royal history and British coin history together in one definitive collectors setOn the 14th of November in 1948, Buckingham Palace issued an official communication; it was the news that the nation had been eagerly anticipating. As the clock neared midnight, the BBC Home Service delivered the long-awaited announcement, and a proclamation was posted on the Palace railings. Her Royal Highness Princess Elizabeth, 22 years old at the time, had safely delivered a son at 9:14 pm earlier that evening. He was named Charles Philip Arthur George. As the first-born of the Princess, Prince Charles assumed, aged just three, the position of second in line to the throne immediately after his mother. Queen Elizabeth II was to reign for a record-breaking 70 years and 214 days, which meant that her eldest son had to wait far longer to fulfil his destiny than might have once been thought, and he holds the record of being the longest-serving heir apparent in our nations history.Preser
