Prince of Wales turns 65. File photo dated 30/10/13 of the Prince of Wales meeting nurses at a reception before this evening's Nursing Times Awards at Clarence House in London. Issue date: Sunday November 3, 2013. The Prince of Wales turns 65 this month - but at the age when most seek to retire, Charles has yet to start the job he born was to do. Heir to the throne since he was three years old, Charles will soon be a pensioner. And like thousands of others he will be claiming his pension this year - but will be donating it to a unnamed charity which supports the elderly. The Prince is entitled to the state benefit because he paid National Insurance contributions whilst in the Navy in the 1970s and made voluntary contributions later. This year, he has also experienced the joy of welcoming his first grandchild, Prince George, into the world. See PA story ROYAL Charles.
