Charles Philip Arthur George became King Charles III upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022, following a lifetime as Prince of Wales where he served as patron of over 400 charities. He has championed environmental causes for decades, advocating for sustainability long before it gained mainstream attention. His connection to Miami stems from interactions with the University of Miami community, including a dinner at Windsor Castle over 20 years ago with John Quelch, now a professor at Miami Herbert Business School. In 2021, as Prince of Wales, he delivered a video message to the school's Chief Sustainability Officer Summit, urging leaders to accelerate sustainable practices. Currently, as King, he leads a slimmed-down, modernized British monarchy amid global challenges.
