An excerpt from the article 23 facts about Charles III

At the age of 14, he began studying at the private, highly disciplined Gordonstoun, whose pupils included Charles's father, Prince Philip, and his two younger brothers, Andrew and Edward. This period of the future king's life was not one of the happiest, as he experienced bullying, which included being locked naked in a wicker basket and left in a cold shower.

Meanwhile, he spent two terms at Geelong Grammar School in Australia, which eh graduated in 1967. He went on to study at the University of Wales and the University of Cambridge.

Charles received his Master of Arts degree on August 2, 1975. He is an archaeologist by training and is the first heir to the British Royal Family to receive a professional degree.
