The calculator measures from the earlier date of birth to the later one: full calendar years first, then full months, then the remaining days.
14 Nov 1948 → 14 Nov 1960 = 12 years
14 Nov 1960 → 14 Jun 1961 = 7 months
14 Jun 1961 → 1 Jul 1961 = 17 days
Age gap = 12 years, 7 months and 17 days = 4,612 total days.
Subtracting the birth years (1961 − 1948 = 13) ignores the month and day. The exact gap between Charles and Diana is 12 years, 7 months and 17 days, so the year-only answer can be off by up to a year.
