King Charles has a big birthday coming up \u2013 prompting royal fans to recall a particularly embarrassing bash from years ago.<\/p>\n

The monarch will turn 75 on Tuesday (November 14) and is expected to celebrate privately with friends and close family. This comes as a stark contrast to his last big birthday \u2013 which saw him usher in the new year with lavish garden parties.<\/p>\n

The toned-down festivities may come as a surprise to royal fans hoping for a more exuberant affair, but the King has admitted before to finding those grandiose birthday bashes a bit embarrassing. When the then-Prince turned 40, he had a huge party organised for him with swathes of guests in attendance.<\/p>\n
