Queen Camilla pictured in new photo released to mark 78th birthday
A new photograph of the Queen has been released to celebrate her 78th birthday. Camilla was pictured smiling in the sunshine and leaning on a metal gate in front of a meadow at her Wiltshire residence Ray Mill House. The image shows the Queen looking relaxed and wearing a turquoise dress in a Liberty fabric printed with a rainforest of toucans, lemurs and monkeys. Last year, Camilla was on duty on her birthday attending the State Opening of Parliament at the King's side. This year, she is said to be spending the day privately. The King, who is still being treated for cancer, is known to have been buoyed by his wife's support since his diagnosis last year. The pair celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary at the start of April and have had a busy run of engagements, including hosting a state visit by the French president last week, ahead of their upcoming annual summer break to Scotland. In the birthday portrait taken by photographer Chris Jackson earlier this month, Camilla can be seen wearing gold drop earrings, a delicate gold bracelet, a gold ring composed of circular plaques on her pinky finger, her wedding band and her five carat emerald cut diamond engagement ring as she places her hands together while resting on the gate. On Wednesday, the Queen was gifted a roll of clingfilm for her birthday in a special holder when she visited a nuclear-powered submarine in Plymouth. The wrapping was used to fix a defect in the main engines of HMS Astute. 'There's nothing more useful, brilliant, how wonderful,' the Queen remarked about the present which had a small plaque with the words 'Clingflim keeping nuclear submarines at sea'. Camilla is also to be made a Vice Admiral – a honorary role – in recognition of her support of the Royal Navy, it was announced the same day.

Prince Harry says he 'tried not to care' about Queen Camilla's move after big life change
Prince Harry moved out his family home in 2012, swapping Clarence House for a cottage on the site of Kensington Palace, but he admits he 'cared' about what happened to his old bedroom Prince Harry says he 'tried not to care' about Queen Camilla's move after he made a major life decision. Harry, 40, lived at Clarence House with his father, King Charles, until he was 28. The Duke of Sussex is said to have swapped his room at his father's home for a one-bedroom cottage on the Kensington Palace site. The palace is now the home of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their staff. At the time Harry's move was said to provide him 'independence' while giving him a 'place of his own'. In his book, Spare, Harry revealed Camilla, who celebrates her 77th birthday today, decided to redecorate his old bedroom after he moved out. He recalls: 'After I moved out, Camilla turned my bedroom into her dressing room. I tried not to care. But, especially the first time I saw it, I cared.' The King and Queen currently use Clarence House as their main residence. It is estimated they will remain there until at least 2027 while Buckingham Palace is being renovated. Harry lived at the property between 2003 and 2012. The property, a stone's throw away from St James' Palace, has been a popular home for the Royal Family throughout the years. It was the first home of Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh. They moved into the property just after their marriage, remaining there until after the birth of Princess Anne in 1950. However in her book The Palace Papers Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil, author Tina Brown claims the Queen turned Harry's room at Highgrove House into a dressing room. Highgrove, situated in Gloucestershire, is known as the King and Queen's country home. After leaving Clarence House, Harry settled into Nottingham Cottage, the home where he is said to have proposed to Meghan Markle. The couple subsequently moved to Frogmore Cottage shortly before the birth of Prince Archie. In 2020 however, they made the decision to quit life in the United Kingdom and move to Montecito in California. Meghan has previously described the 16-bedroom property as a 'safe haven' where the family can 'feel free'. The property's exterior is said to boast a swimming pool, tennis court, and roomy terrace complete with wood-fired stove and barbecue. The couple were said to be worried about the cost of the property when they first saw it. Speaking to The Cut, Meghan said: 'We didn't have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn't possible. It's like when I was younger and you're window shopping — it's like, I don't want to go and look at all the things that I can't afford. That doesn't feel good.' Meghan says the couple 'did everything they could' to get their house. Known as The Chateau of Riven Rock, it is said to have cost the couple £11.8 million.
