Happy birthday King Charles! Test your knowledge on His Majesty as he turns 77
King Charles is 77 today - how much do you really know about His Royal Highness?
Happy birthday, King Charles! His Royal Highness is marking a very special milestone today, celebrating his 77th birthday.
Having ascended the throne in 2022 following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, the King has gone on to make his mark as monarch in just a few short years.
Despite an ongoing cancer battle following news of his diagnosis in February last year, the King has maintained a jam-packed calendar of public engagements, taking on 372 in 2024. Just recently he made history as he and Queen Camilla visited Rome to pray with Pope Leo in October.
Alongside his duties as monarch, the King is a loving husband, father, grandfather, keen gardener, passionate environmentalist and more.

To mark his big day, an unseen photograph of the King taken by portrait photographer Millie Pilkington was shared by the Royal Family. In the candid shot, the King can be seen in the green grounds of the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, smiling at the camera with a shepherd's crook in hand.
"77 today! Thank you for the kind words and well wishes on His Majesty’s Birthday," the caption beside the photograph said.
