The post of Ranger was previously held by his father, Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh,
for 70 years. Duties include offering guidance to the Deputy Ranger on the stewardship of one of
the country's oldest estates, Buckingham Palace said in a statement.

Festivities for the King's birthday began Monday with a rendition of "Happy Birthday" by the
band of the Household Cavalry at Buckingham Palace, where Charles was born in 1948. This
performance was followed at midday by a 41-gun royal salute from the King's Troop Royal Horse
Artillery in Green Park.

Charles came to the throne on September 8, with the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, at
age 96.

Last month, the UK Royal Mint unveiled King Charles III's coin portrait.
