The Duchess of Cornwall will celebrate her 60th birthday this weekend with an extravagant party at Highgrove.
Camilla, the wife of Britain’s Prince Charles, will be joined by more than 100 friends and family for the birthday bash at their Gloucestershire home on Saturday (21.07.07).
Charles is hosting the party, and it is believed Camilla – who reaches the landmark today (17.07.07) - has persuaded him to scale down the size of the celebrations, preferring a relatively understated affair after struggling to recover from a hysterectomy operation in March.
A royal source said: “Charles had wanted to invite 200 people but Camilla wanted closer to the 100 mark. They’ve compromised on a list of about 150 and of that it looks like 115 or so will go.
“She’s had a tough few months. She took longer than expected to recover from her hysterectomy and with her son Tom’s wife Sara heavily pregnant, she’s about to become a grandmother for the first time. It’s all wonderful but tumultuous when you add everything else in.’ Guests will include Prince William, but Prince Harry is unable to attend due to Army commitments.
Instead of a gift list, Camilla has asked party guests to make donations to The National Osteoporosis Society, which helps people with the brittle bone disease.
Camilla was due to spend today visiting Wiltshire with Charles, where she will receive a birthday card made by local school children.
