Sharing the good news on his page, Charles wrote:
"Grateful and proud as I am, I know my father is even more proud. I just turned 40, so to be conferred with this title at this age (one of the youngest ever) makes me feel very encouraged. It has been dedication and resilience all the way, even on the most difficult days, and so on a day like this where I get recognised by my country, a country that I love so much, a country that I have given so much of myself to, and one that has given me so much in return, just feels very encouraging."
