King Charles marks 74th birthday by taking over special role from dad Prince Philip

A brand new photo has been released of King Charles to mark his 74th birthday and to announce a new role he has taken over from his late father Prince Philip.

The King has officially become Ranger of Windsor Great Park, 70 years after the Duke of Edinburgh was appointed to the post, Buckingham Palace said.

The news was announced on Charles’' birthday, and a new photograph of the monarch in a tweed blazer, tie and corduroy trousers leaning against an ancient oak tree in the park was released to mark the occasion.
