On Thursday, The Prince of Wales will celebrate his 65th birthday and become eligible to claim his state pension from the British government due to his time in the Navy.

However, as The Prince of Wales is already a pretty wealthy man in his own right, he has elected to donate the entirety of his weekly pension check to charity. In a statement Clarence House “confirmed that Prince Charles has completed the necessary claim forms and from 14 November will claim his statutory entitlement of up to £110.15 per week.”
