Welcome to Limitless, the podcast series that asks the questions which matter to Africa.
Are tech start-ups the answer to Africa's unemployment problem? Can we stop fake news from spreading on the continent? How do we raise a generation of football stars?
These are just some of the topics we’ll be tackling.
And we’re not looking for simple answers. Just as Africa’s potential is limitless, so are the possible solutions to any challenges the continent faces.
During each podcast episode, we’ll be asking three very different subject experts to give their take on each question. This will come as no surprise but they don’t always agree.
Made possible with a grant from the U.S. Department of State and the Seenfire Foundation.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Here is a 3,000 word expanded version of the essay on King Charles:
King Charles: A Life in Service and Uncertainty
Born Charles Philip Arthur George on November 14, 1948, as the eldest son of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Charles has always lived under the weighty shadow of the British crown. Though afforded immense privilege as heir to the throne since childhood, Charles’ life has nevertheless been defined by rigid duty and intense public scrutiny, marked by thorny personal struggles at odds with the Crown as much as steadfast dedication to using his platform in service for social progress. Now in his eighth decade having navigated an unconventional upbringing and first marriage unraveling quite publicly, today King Charles faces new chapters still being written based on several uncertain factors ranging from public reputation to family dynamics to managing an ever evolving constitutional monarchy role in modern society. Yet when peering closely at the events that molded this man over seven decades, the real measure of King Charles’ eventual legacy may rest on whether his hard-won wisdom can finally unite Britain when it needs confidence in the monarchy most as the nation undergoes tremendous transition on multiple fronts in the 2020s.
An Unconventional Royal Upbringing
As the first-born son of a newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II at just 25 years old when Charles arrived in 1948, expectations loomed large over the heir apparent from birth to one day inherit near-absolute power ruling the British commonwealth. However, the new Queen prioritized sequestering Charles’ early childhood from entitled princely airs as much as public visibility. Elizabeth implemented her own loving yet spartan childrearing approach modeled after the tough love she received firsthand as a royal daughter and heiress apparent groomed to reign by steadfast discipline and rigid expectations from youth as the prim product of a well-oiled imperialistic machine.
So rather than indulging any pampered whims one might expect for history’s most elite toddler, Elizabeth insisted young Charles adhere to formal protocols stressing duty, emotional restraint, and personal sacrifice for sovereign and country from his earliest days. Off-limits to paparazzi lenses in his youth before public engagements commenced, we now know Charles often felt isolated from normalcy other children enjoyed according to later accounts. Whether for security, privacy or placebo proficiency drills, the Prince passed developmental years absent playmates his own age at Windsor Castle under ever watchful supervision during childhood. Insiders suggest Queen Elizabeth hardly intuited affection even behind closed doors. Despite their closeness later on, the Queen Mother’s grandchildren report she maintained an arms-length decorum whenever visiting young Charles as well, forever empty-handed rarely allowing spontaneous hugs or lighthearted giggles.
While Princess Anne enjoyed occasional respites at royal vacation estates with more leniency two years Charles’ junior, expectations remained stratospherically high for the presumptive Prince of Wales. Charles received rigorous schooling from esteemed governesses and Eton professors alike covering exhaustive curricula foreign to most children. Constant assessments drilled professional presentation, speech eloquence, manners, diplomatic pleasantries, art interpretation, equestrian excellence, sporting marksman proficiency and military history until subjects stuck. Such rigid grooming befitting future sovereignty came seeded by Queen Elizabeth’s own tireless example serving crown and country first with icy staunch removing any possibility of abdicating such dynastic responsibility.
So as the 1950s and early 60s unfolded to find young Charles increasingly saddled carrying the weight of dynastic duties foreordained from his first breath, his parents preserved any glimpses of the playful boy behind the princely facade from wider audiences. Just one month after Charles turned four years old, his mother officially launched her eponymously named Queen Elizabeth II reign upon the death of King George VI in 1952. As scepter passed from beloved grandfather to resplendent mother, Charles witnessed firsthand the reality crown’s splendor and privilege bore immense sacrifice stripping away personal agency or identity separate from institutional utility. Much as the court sheltered His Highness, the public and press only received occasional peeks at Charles through sporadic appearances for holiday walkabouts or front-row Wimbledon photo opportunities posing politely beside familial figures themselves consciously molded into stoic symmetry evincing imperial solidity. The crown relied on continuity, not chaos after all.
In preserving efficiency and rule-abiding obligation uber alles, this isolated model of impersonal parenting hardly fostered a sympathetic sounding board or trust confidante as Charles sought finding emotional footing during tempestuous adolescence. While Queen Elizabeth proved a nurturing anchor stabilizing the monarchy’s public image throughout second half of the turbulent 20th century, perhaps she neglected allowing sufficient room for the mercurial Charles to foster his own identity privately that could have eased rigid expectations imposed so rabidly from every angle. One wonders how profoundly being reared primly as the personification of future sovereignty rather than simply as Elizabeth’s firstborn son out of paternal duty might have warped one’s developing psyche through boyhood into manhood when warmth or vulnerability found little quarter.
Left perpetually cerebral company save handlers, security and dogmatic tutors running lessons steeped in standards of empire rapidly eroding by the mid-1960s liberation movements sweeping Charles’ generation internationally, one glimpses the Prince maturing absent sounding boards who spoke the impassioned language of youthfulUMB rebellion or modern uncertainties. The prophesied Prince basked exclusively in aged perspectives clinging to customs clinging to power as if Britain’s supremacy or sociopolitical homogeneity remained unquestioned. Perhaps such cloistered exclusion from the evolving zeitgeist inevitable during immense post-war societal shakeups spawned early seeds for the philosophical searching and maverick independence Charles later pursued publicly once parentally liberated. Even the most rigorously indoctrinated soul must seek models reconciling external duties with internal yearnings after all.
With his destined crown pathway preordained from conception much like his mother’s, Charles continued treading the journey in lockstep as expected. By age nine he commenced extensive preparations before Queen Elizabeth formally named Charles official Prince of Wales in 1958, the first heir bestowed the dynastic title since awkward investitures strained Anglo-Welsh relations. The fanfare seemed securely on script. If anyone discerned young Charles’ trepidation or instincts tugging toward more progressive perspectives brewing among the 1960s youth questioning old orders, traditionalism still muzzled dissent. Outwardly the picture-perfect Prince played his part poses beside regalia-robed parents flawlessly with nary a silver spoon or ermine robe out of place nor a single remark off-script. Little did the royal household realize inward stirrings had taken root that would reshape not just Charles’ life but the monarchy itself.
School Daze: Charles Reckons with Mimicking Monarchs & Chasing Normalcy
By the age of eight, Charles commenced the phase of his atypical upbringing bearing the deepest imprints still evident in the man and monarch he became – boarding school. Education served a special form of conditioning in the Windsor clan given both Queen Elizabeth and her predecessors first faced heavy responsibilities still in their youth. School forged the ruling mettle. So in keeping with ingrained tradition, Charles enrolled at Hill House Prep Academy in 1956 to hone independence fresh off the heels of a South African royal tour where the young heir delighted crowds already. After just one term though, the Queen followed precedent sending the Prince to scholastically acclaimed but austerely run Scottish boarding school Gordonstoun that earlier molded Prince Philip and King Charles III’s grandfather George VI through rugged experiences bracing noble sons against future station burdens.
For sensitive young Charles who found sparse affection from aloof parents in childhood, Gordonstoun’s Spartan regimen enforcing brisk 5:30am rises preceding mandatory icy showers, long training runs in thin attire across rough terrain, unheated housing quarters and strict discipline percentile came as culture shock following Hill House’s nurturance. In later recounting his traumatic first impressions, Charles compared arriving at Gordonstoun to “incarceration in prison, cold showers in the morning, cross country runs, loathing the school system.” Unlike athletically-inclined Philip who adored Gordonstoun’s grueling conditioning reveling in regimental order instilling stoic resilience against future prominence pitfalls in adulthood — rewarding him lifelong friendships forged through shared adversity — these ascetic excesses deeply rattled the introspective, expressive Charles.
Where Philip sailed through the curriculum as a natural leader relishing physical rigor, Charles floundered lonelier adjusting both socially and managing Gordonstoun’s ruthless hazing. Nicknamed ‘Cheryl’ in early bullying by classmates, Charles discovered headmasters tolerated teasing. Constant tussles with an overbearing prefect named Jocelyn further added salt to the wounds until th -
