King Charles III is celebrating his first birthday as Britain's reigning monarch. To mark the occasion, Buckingham Palace released a new photo of Charles, who is now 74.
The photo shows Charles resting against an ancient oak tree in Windsor Great Park, near Windsor Castle.
Along with the photo, the palace announced that Charles has been named The Ranger of Great Windsor Park, a position that for the past nearly 500 years has been held by a member of the royal family., who held the role for 70 years. “We are honoured to have His Majesty as Ranger of Windsor Great Park, continuing a long tradition of the Sovereign and members of the Royal Family holding this role," Paul Sedgwick, rural and deputy ranger of Windsor Great Park, said in a statement shared by the palace. “Windsor has a wonderful heritage with many precious natural habitats."
He continued, "His Majesty’s passion and commitment to the natural world will be invaluable as we seek to become a center of excellence for environmental best practice, preserving and enhancing the Great Park for generations to come.” As he assumes the new role, Charles will celebrate his birthday Monday privately, with no public engagements on his schedule.
