King Charles is celebrating his 77th birthday on Friday, November 14, and if you're wondering what to buy for the man who has everything, former palace gardener Jack Stooks has a simple answer. Stooks, who served as head gardener at The King's country house, Highgrove, for nearly two decades, says there's an entire process involved involved in buying a gift for His Majesty—and it makes a lot of sense.
Speaking on behalf of Smooth Spins Casino, Stooks says, "In the run-up to The King’s birthday, the garden would often receive deliveries of gifts. The way it works is, if someone wants to buy him a present, they have to go through Clarence House and the official office. They’ll get in touch and say, ‘We’d like to get The King a gift, but we’re not sure what to choose.’
