King Charles III marks 77th birthday with new garden photos amid cancer treatment
Buckingham Palace has released new images of King Charles III to mark his 77th birthday. The photo, taken at his Sandringham estate, shows the monarch tending to a maple sapling in the gardens. This comes as he continues to balance his royal duties with ongoing cancer treatment. The image, one of several published on Friday, captures King Charles III in the gardens of Sandringham Estate in Norfolk. The specific photographer's name is not mentioned in the available sources. The release of these images coincides with the tradition of the monarch enjoying two birthdays, a practice started by King George II in 1748. In addition to celebrating his birthday, King Charles III has been fulfilling his royal duties. He recently opened the South Wales Metro Train Depot and greeted members of the public. Earlier this year, he made history as the first British monarch to publicly pray with a pope in at least 500 years when he visited the Vatican. To mark his birthday, gun salutes were fired in Green Park and by Tower Bridge. King Charles III, who stripped his brother Andrew of his royal titles due to scandal over his links to Jeffrey Epstein, continues to carry out his duties while managing his health. The new photo serves as a reminder of his dedication to his role as monarch, even as he marks another year of life.
