Queen Camilla’s usual celebrations
Ahead of Queen Camilla’s birthday, her and King Charles‘ former butler Grant Harrold appeared to reveal her usual birthday celebrations.
Speaking to Spin Genie, Grant said: “Historically, it’s normally very private. It might be a private dinner. In the past, they’ve had friends and family come over. But it’s never a big event. And the reason is you’ll find that the royals don’t ever celebrate big. They will celebrate big when it’s 75 or 80.”
He added: “She’ll be 76 this year. So her 80th will be a big one and it will be publicly celebrated. But birthdays are normally quite low-key. I used to be quite lucky as I’d normally be on duty when it was Camilla’s birthday. It was always quite nice that I was able to give her a gift and a card.”
It was recently announced that won’t receive her own annuity from Parliament, despite the late Prince Phillip‘s payment of nearly £360,000 to fund his duties.
However, Queen Camilla’s actives will be funded by the Sovereign Grant. Furthermore, an official report read: “Parliament provided Prince Philip with a separate annuity worth £359,000 per annum. Queen Camilla will not receive a separate annuity and the Queen’s activities will be funded from the Grant.”
