King Charles and his wife Queen Consort Camilla likely have a busy Easter weekend planned.
Not only will they likely be making Easter Sunday with a trip to church alongside other members of the royal family such as Princess Kate and Prince Willam, but 9 April also marks their 18th wedding anniversary. Look back at their love story in the video below...
It's possible they will choose to split their celebrations over different days. If that's the case, it would make sense that Charles and Camilla would mark 18 years of marriage on Saturday, as they had originally planned to tie the knot on 8 April.
On 10 February 2005, Clarence House made the official announcement that Prince Charles was engaged to Camilla Parker Bowles and that the couple would wed just two months later on 8 April.
At the last minute, their nuptials were postponed for one day so that the now-King could represent his mother the late Queen Elizabeth II at the funeral of Pope John Paul II in Vatican City.

Speaking of how the slight delay impacted their flower arrangements, royal florist Simon Lycett told HELLO!: "We always try to have our flowers be on point for the actual day and time of the event. There was a bit of a white-knuckle ride to try and make sure that everybody was keeping everything fresh and perfect."
Charles - who was previously married to Princess Diana - and Camilla - who wed Andrew Parker Bowles in 1973 - got married in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall, Berkshire, followed by a service of blessing at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. The latter was attended by the likes of the Queen and Prince Philip, who also hosted a reception for the newlyweds at Windsor Castle later that day.
Another reason the couple may want to move their anniversary celebrations this weekend is because the date holds bittersweet memories for them.
Exactly 16 years to the day after their wedding, the King lost his beloved father, Prince Philip.
The late Duke of Edinburgh, who was married to the Queen for 73 years and the longest-serving royal consort in world history, passed away on 9 April 2021 at the age of 99 at Windsor Castle.
