On June 4, an auction was held in Staffordshire, where a pottery created by the British monarch sold for £8,500 ($10,800), with the total including premiums reaching £11,400 ($14,500).

The ceramic goat was kept for more than 55 years by Canadian Raymond Patten. He received it as a gift from a great aunt, who worked as a cook at Cambridge University during King's studies from 1967 to 1970. She told her nephew that Charles III had created the figurine himself.

"I believe she knew the future king personally. I have treasured this goat my entire life", Patten said.

Charles Hanson of Hansons Auctioneers shared that Raymond decided to sell the goat because of its historical significance. It is considered the only known piece of pottery from the monarch. The 76-year-old carpenter from Canada received the ceramic figurine as a 21st birthday present. He has now decided to part with the sculpture.

It is thought the future monarch may have been inspired by the Royal Welsh Regiment's mascot goat.

In 1967, Prince Charles enrolled at Trinity College, Cambridge, to study archaeology, anthropology and history. He became the first British heir to receive a university degree, becoming a Bachelor of Arts in June 1970.
