Royal fans have taken to social media to send celebratory messages to the Queen, who turns 76 today.
The royal family’s official account posted a tribute to Camilla on both Instagram and Twitter as they shared smiling photos of King Charles III’s wife to mark the special occasion.
The Prince and Princess of Wales also sent their wishes with an Instagram story dedicated to the royal family.
Elsewhere, television host Gyles Brandreth – who has known Camilla since they were both teenagers – shared a celebratory tweet that led fans to her Royal Reading Room.
“It’s Queen Camilla’s birthday,” he said.
“If you don’t already know, today is the day to visit the Queen’s Reading Room, where Her Majesty celebrates all things books and the joy (and value) of reading.”

Other reports came from The Ritz, The British Asian Trust, Smooth Radio and even the New Zealand Defense Force – who marked Her Majesty’s big day with a 21-gun salute from Point Jerningham, Wellington.
The HMNBDevonport has also announced its own 21-gun salute at noon today.
And in London, Green Park celebrates a ‘spectacular’ 41 Gun Salute by The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery at noon.
“Please avoid the area at this time if walking a dog as the gunfire is very loud and can be shocking,” the Royal Parks account tweeted.
Elsewhere, hundreds of royal fans expressed their admiration for Camilla with their comments.
“Happy Birthday to Queen Camilla,” one wrote.
“The happiest of all birthdays to our beautiful Queen Camilla,” gushed another. “I wish her all the luck in the world and I hope she has an absolutely wonderful day.”
A third wrote: “Happy 76th birthday to Queen Camilla. I hope she has an absolutely wonderful day.’
“I wish Her Majesty the Queen a very happy birthday today,” another message read.
The Queen was born Camilla Rosemary Shand on 17 July 1947 at King’s College Hospital in London, the daughter of Major Bruce Shand and the Hon Rosalind Shand (née Cubitt). Today is Her Majesty’s 76th birthday.”

Last year, Camilla – then Duchess of Cornwall – celebrated her milestone birthday with a small family dinner hosted by Charles.
Her daughter Laura Lopes and son Tom Parker Bowles would be in attendance, along with her younger sister Annabel Elliot, who featured in an ITV documentary following Camilla as she guest edited an edition of Country Life.
It’s because Camilla had a twinning-like moment with a young royal fan last week when she joined King Charles in Cornwall.
The Queen wore a black patterned gown to St Ives Harbour, Cornwall, to meet community members and visit the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden.
But she wasn’t the only one looking classy upon her arrival – having met a youngster who was in a similar outfit.
Camilla was handed a bunch of colorful flowers by the child, who was also dressed in a black patterned dress.

The Queen accompanied the King – returning to his beloved Cornwall for the first time as a monarch – for a walk around the harbour, where the royal couple met enthusiastic members of the public.
Camilla and Charles, 74, visited the English region every year as Duke and Duchess of Cornwall.
For the outing, the Queen wore a chic Fiona Clare midi dress featuring a green leaf pattern and a classic shirt-inspired silhouette.
She added a touch of glitter to her ensemble with a dainty gold necklace and added a bit of glamorous makeup to her features.
The king, meanwhile, looked dapper in a checkered gray suit and patterned red tie as he waved to the throng of people waiting to catch a glimpse of the royal couple.

And it’s been a busy summer month for the royals.
Previously, Queen Camilla was joined by culinary royalty when both Her Majesty and Mary Berry attended the Royal Box at Wimbledon – and when the action got underway on Center Court, she looked very much animated.
Dressed in Wimbledon white, Camilla looked elegant in a knee-length dress with navy blue trim. The royal completed the look with a stylish straw clutch and cream scarf, clearly aware of the changeable Wimbledon weather.
Meanwhile, Mary, 88, who is cherished by amateur bakers across the country, opted for a summery turquoise dress with billowing sleeves.
Queen Camilla, who had a front row seat to the Center Court action at the Royal Box, sat next to her sister Annabel Elliot.
