As the United Kingdom celebrates the coronation of King Charles III this weekend, a rare photograph of the young Prince of Wales has been shared by the University of Malta Library. The photo was taken during the Prince's visit to the university on November 23, 1969, and shows him alongside the then Rector of the University, Prof. Edwin Borg Costanzi.

The University of Malta Library's Archives and Rare Books Section is the custodian of this rare photograph, which is part of the University's Heritage Archives Collection. The collection is an essential resource for researchers and scholars interested in the history and heritage of Malta and the University.

The photo is a fascinating glimpse into the life of the future monarch and serves as a reminder of the longstanding ties between Malta and the UK.

It also highlights the importance of preserving historical material for future generations. The University of Malta Library's Archives and Rare Books Section is committed to preserving the country's cultural heritage and making it accessible to the public.

As we celebrate King Charles III's coronation, this rare photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and heritage that unites us all.
