Queen Camilla Receives Rare Royal Honor to Celebrate Her 77th Birthday
The Queen, who spent her birthday at the State Opening of Parliament with King Charles, had her big day commemorated throughout London
Queen Camilla’s birthday called for a special celebration.
King Charles’ wife turned 77 on July 17, and Westminster Abbey commemorated the special occasion by ringing its bells.
“The Abbey bells are ringing out to celebrate the birthday of HM The Queen,” the London landmark captioned a video of the musical tribute on X, adding the hashtag “#HappyBirthdayYourMajesty.”
The bells of Westminster Abbey, where Kate Middleton and Prince William wed in 2011 and the royal family hold important services including the funeral of Queen Elizabeth in 2022, only chime for a few royal birthdays each year, but it wasn’t always that way.
Before 2020, the bells sounded for 12 royal birthdays. Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, then-Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward all received the honor, as did Camilla, Kate Middleton and Prince William. The youngest on the list were William and Kate’s children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who follow their father in the line of succession to the throne.
The tradition shifted amid financial issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the number of royals honored with the birthday bells was significantly scaled back. The 2022 Westminster Abbey bell-ringing schedule only marked the birthdays of Queen Elizabeth and the future King Charles, and things changed again following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022.
After Queen Elizabeth died, Westminster Abbey announced that the bells would ring for the birthdays of King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as Prince William and Princess Kate, the new heir to the throne and his wife.
King Charles, 75, is uniquely honored with birthday bells twice a year. The abbey sounds on his actual birthday, Nov. 14, as well as on the day of Trooping the Colour, which the British Army’s parade for his official birthday as monarch, traditionally held in June.
