...that the term Establishment was coined in the realm that will some day belong to Charles. He is the summa symbol of that Establishment, born old, committed, enmeshed, and he could no more drop out than change the color of his skin. The result is something of an intragenerational gap between the Prince and his contemporaries. With this in mind, TIME asked one of the Prince's fellow students to comment on the gulf that separates them.

His choice is Cresap, McCormick and Paget, a consulting firm that will pay him about $15,000.
