Earlier in the day, 41-year-old Prince William and Princess Kate sent a heartfelt birthday message to King Charles on social media, complete with pictures of their families.

On Wednesday, Kate convened a global gathering of specialists at the Design Museum in central London, which was organised by her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood.

"It is time we understood that building a healthier world means nurturing the foundations that support our children — everything from the systems that govern early care through to our attitudes to those raising the next generation, and the support they receive," Kate said at the event.

A significant royal responsibility that King Charles carried out on his birthday was the Coronation Food Project's launch.
