King Charles III plans to celebrate his 75th birthday privately with family and friends.
Despite it being his birthday, King Charles III has official duties, including launching the Coronation Food Project with the Queen. This project aims to address the gap between food waste and food need.
The King's 75th birthday will be marked by gun salutes across the capital.
Despite the recent public disagreement, there is an indication of a potential olive branch from Prince Harry. A source suggests that he might call his father on the King's birthday, considering the time difference in California.
The King's milestone birthday is expected to involve a private celebration with close family and friends.
At noon, the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery will fire a 41-gun salute from London's Green Park. An hour later, the Honourable Artillery Company will fire a 62-gun salute at Tower Wharf, Tower of London, including an extra 21 guns for the City of London.
Prince Harry recently made public statements reigniting a conflict with the Royal Family, stating that he has had 'no contact' with Buckingham Palace regarding King Charles III's 75th birthday celebrations.

Prince Harry's spokesman denies reports that Harry snubbed an invitation to a Clarence House family gathering for the King's birthday. The spokesperson emphasizes that there has been no contact regarding an invitation to the birthday celebration.
Buckingham Palace has refused to comment on King Charles III's plans, maintaining silence on the matter.
A 'source close to the Sussexes' claims that Prince Harry and his family were not aware that the King was holding a celebration until The Sunday Times made the claim.
It is reported that Prince Harry had turned down an offer to spend time with his father at Balmoral over the summer.
A 'friend' of the Sussexes suggests that the story about Prince Harry's alleged snubbing of his father's birthday celebration was leaked to divert attention from the King and Queen's visit to Kenya, where calls for an apology regarding Britain’s colonial past were raised.
The 'friend' emphasizes that the story is being positioned to make it look like Prince Harry is snubbing his father, which they deny. They view it as a welcome distraction, especially considering that the trip to Kenya was perceived as not going well.
Communication between King Charles III and Prince Harry is described as negligible, and communication between Harry and his brother William is said to be non-existent.
King Charles III and Camilla will visit a surplus food distribution center to learn about ways to use food waste for social good.
Charles will host a Buckingham Palace reception as part of NHS 75 celebrations, highlighting the work of nurses and midwives. Around 400 nurses and midwives will be among the guests.
Birthday celebrations for King Charles III began early with a party at his Highgrove home. The event included individuals turning 75, community stalwarts, and representatives from various organizations, including the NHS and the Windrush generation.
The birthday party at Highgrove was attended by notable figures such as celebrity chef Raymond Blanc, The Repair Shop host Jay Blades, and singer Leee John from the 1980s group Imagination.
King Charles III, born on November 14, 1948, at Buckingham Palace, was the first royal birth at the palace since 1886. His birth was registered by his late father, the Duke of Edinburgh, at Caxton Hall.
