King Charles of Britain will mark his 76th birthday on November 14 by inaugurating two food distribution centres , part of his initiative to reduce food wastage and assist charitable organisations in helping the hungry.
The ' Coronation Food Project ', launched by the environmentally conscious monarch last year, aims to address the disparity between food waste and those in need of sustenance.
The King will personally visit a south London hub hosting a ' surplus food festival ', where meals will be prepared using food that would otherwise be discarded. He will also virtually inaugurate another facility in northern England.
Buckingham Palace reports that these distribution centres will enhance the capabilities of food charities like FareShare and the Felix Project. Since its inception, the initiative has successfully preserved 940 tonnes of surplus food, providing the equivalent of over 2.2 million meal portions.
Traditional birthday observances will include ceremonial gun salutes at the Tower of London and various parks across the capital.
The birthday celebrations occur during an active week for the King, who attended the "Gladiator II" film premiere in London on Wednesday evening.
Queen Camilla was absent from the premiere whilst recovering from a chest infection. The King's medical team continues to carefully monitor his official duties as he undergoes cancer treatment.
