- The first official birthday cards from King Charles and Camilla have been delivered to thousands of recipients across the UK and the world this week.

King Charles and Camilla the Queen Consort have delighted royal fans as thousands received their first congratulatory card from the couple this week, to mark their 100th and 105th birthdays, along with milestone anniversaries.
The lovely card, which features a portrait of King Charles and Camilla taken in 2018, was unveiled on Instagram, with a photograph of one of the lucky recipients, but commenters couldn't believe how young she looks.
The picture showed WW2 veteran Ruth Park- Pearson, who was born in 1922 and served in the Women’s Royal Naval service, holding up her card after celebrating her 100th birthday. The caption revealed that Ruth marked the big day surrounded by her six children, 13 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.
But despite receiving her official birthday card from King Charles and Camilla, fans clamoured to the comment section to voice their disbelief at her being 100 years old.
One wrote, “I need to know which moisturiser this amazing woman uses!!!
With another adding “That lady is 100??? Wow she looks incredible!!”
A third fan then remarked that Ruth looked at least ‘25 years younger’ while another fan wrote, “This lady does not look 100. Maybe 20 years younger. Wow! Secret please?”
The tradition of sending out cards to mark significant birthdays and anniversaries began in 1917 during the reign of King George V and has been continued, with the royal family sharing that during Queen Elizabeth’s reign alone, “approximately 1.3 million cards were sent to mark birthdays and anniversaries across the UK, the Realms and the Overseas Territories.”
