LONDON, May 6 (UPI) -- The Duchess of Cornwall is celebrating her 60th birthday this year and Prince Charles is holding the celebration at their home near Tetbury, Britain.
The formal party is being organized by former royal valet, Michael Fawcett, and will be held at Highgrove in July, The Mail on Sunday reported.
Camilla's birthday is on July 17, two weeks after the Princess Diana memorial concert hosted by Princes William and Harry, marking the 10th anniversary of their mother's death in a car crash in Paris.
Because of this, Charles has reportedly instructed Fawcett to handle the party with sensitivity and tact.
"Charles is aware he has to show due attention to the tenth anniversary of Diana's death. It's one of the biggest dates in the Royal calendar, but birthdays are very important to Charles and he wants to make Camilla's as special as possible," said a source. "Luckily, Camilla didn't want a huge, lavish event, which might have taken attention away from Diana's memorial. A dinner party with friends and family seemed the most appropriate solution."
