Camilla's 75th birthday comes at a time when the monarchy -- and her place in it -- are in a generational transition.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall poses with Chelsea Pensioners and a cake which has representations of her racing colours and favorite pets as the Duchess celebrates her 75th birthday at a lunch, hosted by the Oldie Magazine at the National Liberal ClubCamilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, will celebrate her 75th birthday Sunday, marking the occasion with a small family dinner at Prince Charles’ Highgrove estate in southwest England.
Six months ago, in a statement marking her 70 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II expressed her "sincere wish" that Camilla would be known as "Queen Consort" when her son succeeds her. With those words, Elizabeth sought to answer once and for all questions about the status of Camilla, who was initially shunned by fans of the late Princess Diana, Charles’ first wife.
She’s taken on roles at more than 100 charities, focusing on a wide range of issues including promoting literacy, supporting victims of domestic violence and people who have osteoporosis. Known for having a wicked sense of humor, she has softened Charles’ stuffy image and made the heir to the throne seem less remote and more accessible.
Camilla alluded to her approach to royal life earlier this week during a champagne reception and sea bass lunch sponsored by The Oldie magazine, which honored her birthday.
