Meet the fabulous Tozer sisters, who, back in 1966, had no idea when their parents Tom and Nancy announced that the special guest who was coming to stay on the family's dairy farm would one day be the King of England!
Back then, the cheeky Melbourne foursome - eldest sibling Jane was 10, Amanda, six, Penny, four, and youngest Lisa just three - didn't get what all the fuss was about when a very polite 17-year-old teen by the name of Prince Charles appeared at their front door!
"But from the moment we met him, we knew he was something special," shares Jane, now 67, speaking exclusively to Woman's Day. "I remember asking if we had to call him Your Majesty, but he insisted on Charles - we all giggled at his funny voice!
"He was at boarding school two hours away, at Geelong Grammar, for six months. He and his huge entourage of security and staff needed a secure base for weekends and holidays. He would help us milk the cows and he followed our dad around constantly asking questions.
"It was like having an instant big brother who had a real heart of gold and he genuinely adored being with us. It was like he could just be a normal teenager, without all the airs and graces!"
