King Charles III is celebrating his 76th birthday.
The Post reports that the royals are expected to celebrate Charles’ birthday with an intimate celebration at Highgrove House – the King and Queen’s private residence – this weekend.
“It won’t be a big deal,” a palace source told The Post exclusively. “A normal dinner that will include birthday cake.”
In fact, the cancer-stricken king’s former personal butler told The Post that “weekends are free time for the royal family.”
Grant Harrold – who worked for Charles for seven years when he was Prince of Wales – said the royal “usually keeps his birthdays fairly low-key unless they’re milestones.”
“When I was there, I usually saw phone calls from family, messages from the public, a selection of birthday cards that were placed in front of him so he could look at them,” Harold said.
To mark the special day, Charles will be rolling up his sleeves and getting involved with his Coronation Food Project – an initiative he launched on his 75th birthday last year to tackle food waste in the UK.
The king will cut the ribbon to open a new food bank that is hosting a “food festival” on Thursday, featuring meals cooked from produce that would otherwise go to waste. At the same time, Charles will also install an industrial freezer.
It is unclear whether Queen Camilla will join her husband at the event, as she has been forced to miss several royal events due to a chest infection.
