Every wedding anniversary is special, but for King Charles and Queen Camilla, this week’s milestone date will bring with it added poignancy and a time for reflection.
It’s 19 years since the royal couple made their vows in a civil ceremony at Windsor’s Guildhall, watched by a global audience of millions, as they finally tied the knot 35 years after they first met.
However, despite their memories of the joy of that momentous occasion, it is open to question whether the King and his Consort will mark the occasion with a large celebration or party.
After all, the King is continuing with his treatment for cancer and, although he was pictured looking well at the recent Easter Sunday service at Windsor Castle, he is under doctor’s orders not to overdo it. Meanwhile, their beloved daughter-in-law, the Princess of Wales, is facing her own battle with the disease.
Instead, the couple may use the landmark day to contemplate how far they have come as a partnership, the storms they have weathered along the way, and the hurdles they must face in the months and years to come.
“Camilla is the King’s soulmate, his rock, his sounding board, his best friend and, as he always says, his ‘darling wife’,” former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond tells OK!, as she reflects on the couple’s many years together. “She soothes him, comforts him and makes him laugh.”
