A very happy 64th birthday to Prince Charles! The next in line to the throne technically celebrates his birthday twice this year, as he is currently in New Zealand with his wife, Camilla, on the final leg of the Diamond Jubilee tour.
So, what does one get for the future king who has everything? A hobbit, of course! The Prince of Wales, a reported Tolkien fan, spent time meandering about Middle Earth at the studio behind Peter Jackson’s upcoming Hobbit movie. Jackson himself provided the birthday boy with a personal tour of the property, leaving Charles saying, “I can’t tell you how grateful I am — the best birthday present I’ve had in a long time.”
After an eventful morning in his very own fantasyland, Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall attended a government shindig alongside 64 people also born on Nov. 14. And what’s a 64th birthday celebration without a rendition of “When I’m 64” by the Beatles? Dad, if you’re reading this – don’t expect your 64th birthday in a few years to come complete with a military band.
Happy Birthday Prince Charles!
