Childhood
Charles was born at St. Richard's Hospital in Chichester, West Sussex on Wednesday, 15 April 1987. He was raised in Littlehampton, West Sussex until the age of sixteen, at which age, on the separation of his parents, he moved to nearby East Preston. He is the son of David Simmonds (b. 1953, Horsham), and Judith Simmonds neé Evans (b. 1954, Radlett), and has three siblings: Richard, Alexander, and Oliver.

Growing up, he attended East Preston Junior School, Angmering School, and then Angmering Sixth Form, amassing nine GCSEs, one GNVQ, an AS-Level and four A-Levels.

In the spring of 2002, his penultimate year of compulsory education, he completed a week long work experience placement at 141 Worldwide, a marketing company for which he was keen to work for again after graduation from university.

He held down a couple of jobs during this time, including sales assistant at a One-Stop store for over two years, and as seasonal kitchen staff at a Brewer’s Fayre restaurant. As well as this, he also took part in much voluntary work: He coached the Under-7 team at Rustington Otters FC at the weekend, and assisted in Arun Dolphins Swimming Club during the week, an organisation allowing people of all disabilities to gain mobility through swimming.
