The Duchess of Cornwall is
celebrating her milestone 75th birthday this Sunday and it sounds like she’ll
be doing so in a low-key, intimate manner.
Camilla is having a
“small family dinner” this weekend. She’ll no doubt be joined by her
husband Prince Charles, 73, and perhaps her children Tom Parker Bowles and
Laura Lopes, as well as their children.
It’s not known whether the
Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will make up the party. Earlier this week, William
and Kate were spotted boarding their private helicopter at Kensington
Palace with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
While it’s not known where the
Cambridges were travelling to, they may have been heading to their country
home, Anmer Hall, in Norfolk for the summer holidays.
Camilla marked her birthday
early this year as she guest-edited the 125h anniversary edition of Country
Life magazine at the beginning of July. The cover photo was taken by keen
photographer Kate, with Camilla revealing that the pair enjoyed “a lot of
laughs” on the shoot.

Camilla’s impressive 75th birthday cake
In her ITV documentary Camilla’s
Country Life, which aired on Wednesday, the Duchess said: “She did really
good pictures and you know she does it very naturally… we had a lot of fun
doing it.
“It was very relaxed and
of course very kind of the Duchess of Cambridge… she’s an extremely good
photographer and it was all very casual, there wasn’t much hair and make-up –
it was just done in the garden with a lot of laughs – it was a lovely way of
doing it.”

No doubt Prince Charles will spoil Camilla on her milestone birthday
In the same documentary,
viewers saw Camilla and her younger sister Annabel walk around Hall Place, the
Hampshire home that their grandparents used to own. The pair brought up a row
they once had, which ended with Camilla hiding and burying Annabel’s teddy bear
in the garden.
“My sister and I had had
a bit of an argument, so I buried him, it was sibling rivalry,”
laughed Camilla, adding: “Yes, Tiddy Bar – he had a very happy resting
ground, in the rose garden.”
When Annabel was asked if she
had forgiven her elder sister, she laughed and said, “Certainly not! No,
it still rankles to this day!”
