King Charles emphasized the urgency of tackling food waste and insecurity, stating, “Food need is as real and urgent a problem as food waste.” The project aims to establish distribution hubs connecting surplus food with the 14 million people facing food insecurity in the UK.
Born on November 14, 1948, during post-war food rationing, King Charles celebrated his 75th birthday with a special tea party at Highgrove Garden, marking other 75th anniversaries, including Windrush 75 and the NHS’s 75th anniversary. King Charles is now the sixth longest-lived British monarch at 75 years old.
