The beginning of the year has been quite challenging for both King Charles and Camilla. As they celebrate their 19th wedding anniversary today, they reflect on the tough start the Royal Family has had. It was a grand ceremony when the two tied the knot in 2005, watched by millions of people all over the UK. It was a long-awaited event, as they had first met in 1970, 35 years prior.
Grant Harrold, who served as Charles' butler from 2004 to 2011, shared that the couple would most likely spend the day in private. He also mentioned that this year's anniversary might hold a deeper significance for them, given all that has happened. "I have no doubt they'll be together for the occasion, and I'm sure behind closed doors, they'll probably have a romantic dinner with just the two of them," he said. With the King's ongoing treatment, it is possible that they may not have any other guests, making it a more intimate celebration.
When it comes to the overwhelming number of cards and well-wishes that the couple receives, Harrold shared that while they cannot read them all, they do make an effort to go through them. "What happens, just to give people a bit of hope, is the cards go to the office and they do all get read. As far as I know, as many as possible, as is sensible, get responded to," he explained. A small selection of the cards is then taken out and presented to the relevant members of the royal family to read.
Earlier this year, Charles was diagnosed with cancer while receiving treatment for a benign prostate enlargement. However, the palace confirmed that he does not have prostate cancer. At the same time, Kate Middleton also received a cancer diagnosis and has been undergoing chemotherapy as part of her treatment. The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic, where Charles was also receiving treatment. It was a difficult time for both of them, but they have been supporting each other through it all.
