King Charles's exciting 75th birthday plans with the royal family revealed

Celebrations are in order for the royal family next week as the King turns 75 on Tuesday 14 November.

So, what will Charles be doing to mark such a milestone occasion?

The monarch's charitable causes will be at the heart of his celebrations.

On the eve of his birthday on Monday, the King will join fellow 75-year-olds for a special party at his countryside abode, Highgrove.

The monarch will gather at his Gloucestershire home on Monday with community champions who were, like him, born in 1948 as part of the generation of post-Second World War baby boomers.

The afternoon tea, featuring dancing with live music from a local rock choir, will also mark the 75th anniversaries of the NHS and the Windrush generation in 2023.

Then on Tuesday, the King and Queen will officially launch The Coronation Food Project.

Inspired by His Majesty, The Coronation Food Project seeks to bridge the gap between food waste and food need across all four nations of the United Kingdom, helping people and helping the planet.

Charles and Camilla will visit a surplus food distribution centre outside London, where they will have the opportunity to meet staff and volunteers, hearing about the ways food waste can be used for social good.

The King will also host a reception at Buckingham Palace on his birthday for 400 nurses and midwives, as part of this year's NHS 75 celebrations.

The NHS choir is set to perform a surprise birthday song in his honour.

His Majesty will also reportedly be joined by close family and friends for a private dinner at Clarence House on Tuesday evening.
