King Charles Opens Food Hubs on 76th Birthday

King Charles III celebrated his 76th birthday by opening two Coronation Food Hubs, part of his initiative to address food waste and support charities amid the UK's cost-of-living crisis. Despite undergoing cancer treatment, Charles maintains a busy schedule, including a recent foreign tour and engagements with the film industry. His wife, Queen Camilla, was absent from the birthday activities due to a chest infection. The King received birthday wishes from family members including Prince William and Kate Middleton, but no public message from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Traditional celebrations included gun salutes and the ringing of bells at Westminster Abbey. The Coronation Food Project, launched last year, has saved 940 tonnes of surplus food, equivalent to over 2 million meals, highlighting Charles' commitment to sustainability and social causes.
