King Charles’ 75th Birthday Plans Begin — See Who Is Eligible for a Royal Invite!

The Prince's Foundation is organizing two tea dances to mark the milestone

Plans are in motion for King Charles' banner birthday this fall!

The King turns 75 on Nov. 14, and his educational charity The Prince's Foundation has announced it will mark the milestone for fellow members of his generation turning 75 this year with celebratory events at Highgrove Gardens in Gloucestershire, England and Dumfries House in Cumnock, Scotland. The festivities will be held on Nov. 13, his birthday eve.

Online nominations for the parties opened Monday, "with people urged to put forward individuals who should be rewarded for doing good in their local communities, or who would benefit from the companionship that attending such an event would bring," a statement shared to Highgrove Gardens' website said. Organizations marking their 75th anniversary in 2023 can also apply.

In signature royal style, the celebrations will feature live music and afternoon tea, plus the chance to dance and chat with others.

The event at Dumfries House will welcome guests from Ayrshire and Arran, Dumfries and Galloway and Glasgow and Clyde Valley. Meanwhile, the Highgrove Garden fête is open to those from Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Somerset.

The statement explained that the birthday fun was inspired by the Prince’s Foundation’s health and wellbeing program, which throws monthly tea dances at Dumfries House to bring together those at risk of loneliness and social isolation. Looking ahead, the special events timed to Charles’ birthday will elevate the mission in honor of the royal occasion.

"We wanted to do something special to mark the occasion of His Majesty The King’s 75th birthday. As part of our charity’s role is to serve its communities, we thought it would be fitting to invite a select number of people who are also turning 75 this year to our beautiful sites for a celebratory afternoon," a spokesperson for the Prince’s Foundation told The Telegraph.

While it remains to be seen if King Charles makes a cameo at either event, he rang in his birthday last year with a new royal role. On his 74th birthday in 2022, the sovereign took over the title and post of Park Ranger of Windsor Great Park from his late father, Prince Philip.

To mark the new duty (and his first birthday as King), Charles was photographed in the glowing autumnal light of an ancient oak in the park.

Poignantly, it has been 70 years since Philip — who died in 2021 — was appointed to the role. Charles' grandfather, King George VI, also held the position. The first ranger was Sir Henry Nevill, who was appointed by Queen Elizabeth I in 1559.

The King's next birthday falls five months after he was honored at Trooping the Colour, the British sovereign's official birthday parade usually held in June.

According to the British Army, the ceremonial presentation of the military's regimental flags, called "colours," is believed to have first been performed during the reign of King Charles II, who ruled from 1660 to 1685. The parade was first formally linked to the monarch’s birthday during the reign of King George II in 1748, and got a permanent spot on the annual royal calendar following the accession of his grandson King George III in 1760.

The epic military procession serves as an official birthday for the reigning King or Queen — regardless of when their actual birthday may be.

The formal procession — which included 1,500 soldiers, 300 horses and 400 musicians on patriotic display — Charles' first as monarch, and saw him saddle up for his ceremonial role as Colonel in Chief of the seven regiments of the Household Division of the British Army.

After receiving a royal salute, the King led the procession to Buckingham Palace before he and other members of the royal family stepped out on the balcony as the Royal Air Force performed a patriotic flypast.

The slimmed-down contingent called back to the royal family's appearance on the palace balcony following the coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla on May 6.

Though Charles immediately acceded as sovereign following the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth last September, he was ceremoniously crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Westminster Abbey on May 6.
