• Queen Elizabeth II is known for her witty one-liners and cheeky quips.
• When Prince William was born, she joked that he didn’t have ears like his father.
• The 96-year-old monarch’s comments did not appear to be favourable to Prince Charles.

When Prince William was born in 1982, Queen Elizabeth II made a joke about her eldest son Prince Charles and grandchild, expressing her joy that he didn’t have a feature with his father.

The 96-year-old monarch is known for her witty one-liners, fast reactions, and cheeky quips, and her sense of humour helps her connect with the general public.

When the Queen finally got to meet her new heir, Prince William, she said: “Thank heavens he hasn’t ears like his father,” reports Marie Claire.

The Queen’s words, however, did not appear to be favourable to Prince Charles, according to reports.

The Prince of Wales’ ears have become well-known, and he has been severely mocked for many years because of them. While the criticism is unjust, Prince Charles’ renowned ears have become part of his iconic image.

In 1982, Princess Diana gave birth to the future king at St Mary’s Hospital. Following the birth of his son, Charles expressed his love for him in a letter to his second cousin, The Countess Mountbatten of Burma.

“The arrival of our small baby has been an astounding experience and one that has meant more to me than I ever could have anticipated,” Charles reportedly wrote. I’m so glad I was by Diana’s bedside the entire time because I felt like I was a part of the birthing process.
