King Charles and Camilla are celebrating their 19th wedding anniversary today after a tough start to the year for the Royal Family.
The pair got married in 2005 in a ceremony that was watched by millions of people across the UK, 35 years after they met in 1970.
Grant Harrold worked for Charles as a butler between 2004 and 2011 and said they would likely spend the day together in private.
He said: ‘I’m sure this year will be a bit more poignant and probably a bit emotional with everything going on.
‘I have no doubt they’ll be together for the occasion, and I’m sure behind closed doors, they’ll probably have a romantic dinner with just the two of them.
‘With the King’s treatment, he might not have any other people there, so it is likely to be private between the two of them.’
He added: ‘They get thousands [of cards]. They can’t read them all, it’s impossible, you can’t send them hundreds of thousands of cards and think they’re going to see them all.
‘What happens, just to give people a bit of hope, is the cards go to the office and they do all get read.

‘As far as I know, as many as possible, as is sensible, get responded to. There is always a cross-section that’s taken out and put separately and that cross-section is then presented to the relevant member/s of the royal family to read.’
Charles was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year while he was being treated for benign prostate enlargement.
The palace confirmed he does not have prostate cancer.

He spent three nights at the London Clinic private hospital, where doctor’s discovered a ‘separate issue of concern’.
Meanwhile Kate Middleton was also diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy as part of the treatment.
The Princess of Wales underwent abdominal surgery at the London Clinic on January 16 for what was then believed to be a non-cancerous condition.
It happened the same time as King Charles was getting treatment at the facility.
