Grandson of James II, referred to as Charles III by his supporters, and "The Young Pretender" by his detractors. He was born in Italy, and spent his childhood in Roma and Bologna. The Duke of Cumberland caught up with Charles at the battle of Culloden, the last battle fought on British soil.
Bologna is home to the Hotel Royal Carlton on the Via Montebello.
A picture of BPC is displayed in the National Portrait Gallery, 2 St Martin's Place (WC2), a road that runs North from Trafalgar Square. A left turn as you move north and you are into Orange Street, which connects with Haymarket (home of the Theatre Royal Haymarket). The present TRH was designed by architect John Nash in 1821, when the Prince Regent was improving London (a Prince Regent is a prince who acts in stead of a monarch who is unable to rule e.g. George IV (1811-1820) during the incapacity of George III). It was the Prince Regent who commissioned the building of the Royal Pavillion in Brighton.
Haymarket is a one-way street, that goes Southbound, from Piccadilly to Pall Mall (on side Pall Mall East, the other side Pall Mall (West)). The first right is Jermyn Street that connects Haymarket to (Lower) Regent Street and is famous for shirtmakers. Regent Street is a one-way street that goes Northbound from Pall Mall to Piccadilly Circus. However, going North on LRS you cannot make a left-turn into Piccadilly, instead you should go along Pall Mall (another one-way systems). St James Square, off Pall Mall, is one of London's most exclusive addresses. St James' is the collective name for Pall Mall, Haymarket, Jermyn Street and St James' Square.
