The British royal family is growing, which means there are plenty of birthdays to try to keep up with throughout the year.

King Charles III is one of four siblings, with two sons (Princes William and Harry), five grandchildren and six nieces and nephews, as well as sisters and daughters in-law.

The different members of the royal family all celebrate differently, but commonly release sets of photos to mark their birthdays or make special public appearances. To celebrate her 40th last year, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex launched a mentor scheme with the help of a number of her famous friends.

Here, The National rounds up the birthdays of senior members of the British royal family, starting from January.
