Prince Charles's wife, Camilla, joined him on his brief visit. Right after watching the Independence Day Military Parade held on March 25, the couple visited President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and her partner Pavlos Kotsonis.

Speaking about the warm hospitality they received, Charles noted that he and Camilla were deeply touched to be invited to Athens for their bicentenary celebration.

Prince Charles' new honor comes in the wake of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's controversial interview.

The Prince, who will turn 73 in November, also quipped that he never thought he could still win a gold medal at his age. He noted that the surprise makes him more grateful.

Prince Charles' new honor comes in the wake of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's controversial interview with television personality Oprah Winfrey during which they racism claims against the royal family.

Speaking about this, sources close to the royal household reportedly revealed that he was enormously let down, noting that the Prince believes in diversity, and his action often backs it up.

During the tell-all interview, Harry spoke about his brother being trapped in the royal system since he is a Future King. However, not long after, Prince William also came out, debunking this claim.

According to sources close to the future King, Prince William does not feel trapped by his royal responsibilities, adding that he plans to take a robust approach to monarchy when he eventually becomes King.
