Former royal gardener Jack Stooks reveals that “their anniversaries tend to be up in Birkhall near the Balmoral Estate” adding that they are not “ too extravagant.”

Speaking to Smooth Spins, the insider adds the celebrations would be “just them and if they have a few guests or family members,” they would all be included in “a quiet meal” at home. “Birkhall is lovely,”

“It’s not a huge house and there’s a nice drawing room. There’s a small dining room they might even just have like a crab souffle or something completely simple.

“It's not that easy that they can go and have a nice meal in a restaurant and be left alone,” Stooks explains. “It’s so difficult.”

“The King is also quite specific about his eating pattern, and they don't eat huge amounts as well.”
