The first royal birthday greetings for King Charles III. come in. One person even beat Prince William to it.
King Charles III was allowed to blow out 75 candles on his royal birthday cake this Tuesday (November 14th). The first congratulations from his royal family have already arrived on social networks. His son Prince William (41) and his wife Princess Kate (41) published on the shared Instagram account a three-part photo series in honor of the birthday child.
In the first picture, Charles and William are sitting on a wooden bench in the snow in ski gear and in a good mood, with one arm on each other’s shoulders. The fact that the picture has been around for several years can be seen not least in William’s full head of hair. The Prince and Princess of Wales wrote: “We wish His Majesty the King a wonderful 75th birthday.” This is followed by a current picture of the monarch and one in which William and Kate and their three children George (10), Charlotte (8) and Louis (5) as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla (76) greet the camera together.
A little earlier, Sarah Ferguson (64), the ex-wife of Charles’ brother Prince Andrew (63), had met addressed the king via Instagram. She published a black and white picture of Charles III. and wrote: “I wish His Majesty King Charles III the happiest of birthdays. Long live the King.”
