King Charles and Queen Camilla were at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary on Wednesday on the latest leg of their Scotland tour.
The monarch is north of the border as part of the first Holyrood Week since his coronation in May. The royal couple took in the ERI to mark the 75th anniversary of the NHS.
Delighted staff and patients met the couple who proceeded to cut a cake to celebrate the landmark day, reports the Scottish Express. Queen Camilla joked she “shared a birthday” with the National Health Service which came into being on July 5, 1948.
