Why not Prince Charles for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 75-year-old prince, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Prince Charles so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the prince have already been named ‘Briton Of The Year’ by some major British newspapers and even ‘Buckingham Palace Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Buckingham Palace (Prince Charles' hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the prince was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“#Prince CharlesPOY. Logical choice though I wouldn't have made the same one.”

“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveCharles”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 4 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Prince Charles?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 4 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Prince Charles?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
