Prince Charles, next in line to the UK throne since 1952, was asked to make himself a crown on Wednesday while attending a balloon workshop at Yavneh College, a school near London. /CFP Photo

The activity was a charitable exercise and the crowns made by the pupils will be donated to children with life-threatening illnesses, according to British newspaper The Daily Telegraph. /CFP Photo
