Prince Charles
will spend his birthday watching the sunset on a beachside barbecue –
in the same spot where he was caught in a famous embrace in the surf 36
years ago.
This time he will have wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, 68, by his side at Cottesloe, Western Australia, as he marks his 67th birthday.
There, on November 14, the couple will enjoy a party toward the end of a 12-day tour of New Zealand and Australia.
"It will be very informal, very relaxed with a good variety of people," a royal source tells PEOPLE. "It should be a very nice, celebratory occasion."
Back in 1979, a young bikini-wearing Australian model, Jane Priest, was photographed hugging Charles in the waves in what became a signature picture of his bachelor years.
The image helped project Charles as a young, eligible royal. Two years later he was married to Princess Diana.
The upcoming tour, which runs from November 4 to November 16, will have the themes of "community, culture and conservation," says a palace briefing. Among a wide series of events, the couple will visit with the Maori King in New Zealand one morning.
They will also view a spectacular canoe armada on the Waikato River, while Camilla will see what the palace calls a "shining example of community cohesion at Oz Harvest in Sydney."
It is a charity that collects surplus food and redistributes it to those who support the needy.
Later in the tour, the couple will mark the sacrifices of war dead when they pay their respects during Remembrance Day of November 11 in Canberra, Australia.
Charles and Camilla have been married 10 years, and their first foreign tour together was to the U.S. in 2005 – just a few months after their wedding of the previous April.
