Clarence House Celebrates Camilla Parker Bowles’s Birthday with Never-Before-Seen Photos

Clarence House just shared not one, but two brand-new photos of Camilla Parker Bowles.

Yesterday, the royal residence’s official Instagram account celebrated the Duchess of Cornwall’s 73rd birthday by sharing a series of never-before-seen pictures that were taken during lockdown.

Clarence House kicked things off with a colorful shot of Bowles, who is standing in a sea of green. The birthday girl is wearing a bright blue dress, which features a zipper down the front.

The caption read, “A new photograph of The Duchess of Cornwall has been released to mark Her Royal Highness’s 73rd birthday tomorrow. The photo was taken earlier this week in the garden of Clarence House.”

Clarence House followed up with another picture of Bowles—but this time, she’s standing in front of a fountain. (The photo was taken in the residence’s garden.)

“‪Thank you for all the birthday wishes for The Duchess of Cornwall,” it read.

The celebrations concluded with one last video, featuring birthday messages from friends, family and members of the Armed Forces.

The caption read, “Three cheers for HRH as birthday wishes come in for The Duchess of Cornwall.”

Wishing Bowles all the best on this very special day.
