King Charles III is celebrating his first birthday on the British throne with a new photograph and a new role as “Ranger” of Windsor Great Park.
Released this Monday (14), the day of his 74th birthday, the photograph marks the appointment of Charles as Ranger.
The photo shows the monarch leaning against an ancient oak tree in Windsor Great Park, which is opposite the royal residence of Windsor Castle in England, with the winter sun shining in the background.
The role of “Ranger” was previously held by his father, Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, for 70 years. Duties include offering guidance to the Deputy Ranger on the management of one of the oldest properties in the country, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.
The festivities for the king’s birthday began on Monday with a version of “Happy Birthday” performed by the Household Cavalry band at Buckingham Palace, where Charles was born in 1948.
This performance was followed at noon by a 41-shot royal salute from the King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery in Green Park.
Charles ascended the throne on September 8, with the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at the age of 96.
Last month, the United Kingdom’s Royal Mint unveiled the coin portrait of King Charles III.
