    • Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has reportedly treated her husband Prince Charles to a special birthday surprise.

    The heir apparent celebrated his 71st birthday in Mumbai yesterday, having spent most of this week in India for his royal visit to the country.

    After two days of engagements in both Mumbai and New Delhi, Prince Charles is said to have travelled to Bangalore to spend time with Duchess Camilla ahead of their joint tour of New Zealand, which is set to begin on Sunday.

    And the Duchess is said to have treated her husband to a special birthday surprise.

    As I depart for India, on my tenth official visit, I did just want to convey my warmest best wishes to all of you in the Sikh Community in the United Kingdom, and across the Commonwealth, on the 550th Birth Anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The principles on which Guru Nanak founded the Sikh religion, and which guide your lives to this day, are ones which can inspire us all – hard work, fairness, respect, and selfless service to others. In embodying these values, Sikhs have made the most profound contribution to the life of this country, and continue to do so, in every imaginable field, just as you do in so many other places around the world. This week, as Sikhs everywhere honour the founder of your faith, my wife and I wanted you to know just how much your community is valued and admired by us all, and that our thoughts are with you at this very special time. . – HRH The Prince of Wales #RoyalVisitIndia #Gurupurab550

    Duchess Camilla had reportedly been waiting for her husband at a lavish health retreat located on a 30-acre farm and has been keen to get her husband involved in some homeopathic treatments offered at the resort, to provide him with some much needed relaxation time on his birthday.

    A royal source told HELLO! magazine, “The Duchess has been determined to force the Prince to have some down time on his birthday and insisted he join her at her retreat.”

    The Prince of Wales was also treated to a rather delicious looking chocolate cake during his visit to the British Asian Trust on the morning of his special day.

    As he met with school children at the event, he was kindly gifted the sweet treat along with a birthday card from the pupils as they serenaded him with a rendition of Happy Birthday.

    Of course, the Princes’ family sent him their own birthday wishes all the way from back home in the UK via social media.
