Mr Sinclair, a ship-wrecked merchant, and lady Betty Burke.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Charles was rescued from Scotland by his loyal younger brother,\u00a0Henry Benedict, and shipped back to France.<\/p>\n<p>Despite not supporting Charles in his bid for the British throne, France did agree to protect him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/18\/00\/74453461-12419087-image-m-21_1692315285595.jpg\" height=\"506\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/18\/00\/74453451-12419087-image-m-23_1692315305866.jpg\" height=\"506\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>A master&#8217;s student working on the project said she hoped the de-aged face would make people think of the prince &#8216;as a person, instead of just legend&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But in 1748, the war between France and England ended and the French were forced to exile Charles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He spent the remainder of his life moving around Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Bonnie Prince Charlie&#8217;s legend continues to this day, despite his disastrous attempt to take the British throne.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The prince was believed to be fluent in reading English, French and Latin by the age of six.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12419087\/De-aged-face-Bonnie-Prince-Charlie-created-death-mask-Stuart-pretender-giving-historians-glimpse-pimpled-prince-looked-1745-Jacobite-uprising.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotty Prince Charlie!
