King Charles III turns 74 this Monday, for the first time seated on the throne and with a symbolic appointment as the new Warden of Windsor Great Park, a title previously held by his late father, Prince Philip.
The Royal Household has released an official image captured last week and in which the monarch is precisely seen leaning on an oak tree in the aforementioned environment. As the new ‘ranger’ of the Great Park of Windsor, Charles III assumes a title dating from the sixteenth century and that for nearly seven decades held by the Duke of Edinburgh, until his death in September 2021.
For this Monday, no public celebration of any kind is expected, although there have been salvos in his honor and the cavalry has played the ‘happy birthday’ during the changing of the guard at Buckingham, reports the BBC. It is tradition, in fact, that the Royal House organizes celebrations in more suitable dates for weather and that, for example, the official celebrations are left for summer.
The royal family has not yet clarified whether Charles III will follow the same pattern as his mother, Elizabeth II, who used to celebrate her anniversaries in mid-June instead of April.
For 2023 is already confirmed, however, the date of the coronation, which will take place on May 6. It will be then when the renewal that began on September 8 with the death of Elizabeth II, who died at the age of 96 at Balmoral Castle in Scotland, will be completed.
