The Queen is organising an extravagant 70th birthday bash for Prince Charles – and there’ll be a very special guest
PRINCE Charles is turning 70 this year and the Queen has something very special planned for the occasion.
Her Majesty is reportedly throwing her son a lavish birthday party at Buckingham Palace, with a very special guest indeed.
It has been claimed hundreds of invitations have been sent out for the extravagant bash and that Prince Phillip is set to make a rare appearance at the event.
Among those attending are Charles' and Camilla's families, so it’s likely to be a special day for the Prince of Wales.
The birthday is said to be taking place in the grand State Rooms, and a number of European royals are also said to the attending – sounds casual!
A speech will be made in tribute of Prince Charles by none other than the Queen herself, which is sure to make the occasion even more poignant.
The birthday will be paid for using the Queen’s private funds and the Prince of Wales' personal aide, Michael Fawcett, is said to be overseeing proceedings.
Prince Charles, 69, was born at Buckingham Palace on November 14, 1948.
He was the first-born child of Princess Elizabeth who became Queen just over three years later in February 1952.
He is the longest serving Prince of Wales after beating the record of Queen Victoria's son Edward VII, who was Prince of Wales for 58 years before he took the throne.
A number of celebrations are expected in his 70th year, including Buckingham Palace displaying 100 artworks chosen by the prince this summer.
The Queen kicked off celebrations in May by hosting a garden party at Buckingham Palace, with 6,000 people in attendance, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who made their first public appearance since their wedding.
Prince Charles is said to be featuring in a new BBC documentary and will have two magazine profiles and a new portrait in honour of his milestone birthday.

He will also be honoured with a star-studded line-up of magicians and comedians at the London Palladium, which will be shown on ITV in a show called We Are Most Amused and Amazed on November 14.
This is why Prince Charles might NOT become King Charles III when he takes to the throne.
