Buckingham Palace shared photos of Camilla alongside birthday messages and cake emojis on Twitter on Sunday.

The Queen's @RoyalFamily Twitter account tweeted: "Wishing The Duchess of Cornwall a very Happy 75th Birthday!"

Buckingham Palace also shared a photo of Camilla, beaming as she held her Jack Russell terrier, Beth.

Royal photographer Chris Jackson, who took the picture, retweeted the post, adding: "A very Happy Birthday to HRH The Duchess of Cornwall, 75 today!

"Pictured on the steps of her shepherd's hut at home in Wiltshire with the lovely Beth."

Prince William and Kate also sent greetings to Camilla, tweeting: "Wishing a very happy 75th birthday to The Duchess of Cornwall today!"

The message was shared alongside a photo, taken by Kate, showing Camilla walking through a meadow of forget-me-nots.

Prince Charles and Camilla's @ClarenceHouse account acknowledged the posts, saying: "Thank you for all your kind messages and well-wishes on The Duchess of Cornwall's 75th birthday today!"

It comes after an official picture of the future Queen Consort was released on Saturday to mark her birthday.

It showed Camilla sitting at a garden table with flowers and plants in the background and a tea cup and saucer in front of her, along with a bowl of peaches.

The picture was taken last month in the gardens of Raymill, Camilla's retreat in Lacock, Wiltshire, where the photographed peaches were grown.

Clarence House said her birthday would be celebrated on Sunday with a small family dinner.

It is likely that Charles will host the evening get-together and guests are likely to dine at Highgrove House.

Camilla's daughter, Laura Lopes, and son, Tom Parker Bowles, are expected, along with her younger sister, Annabel Elliot.
