00:00Charles always asks for the same thing for his birthday?

00:03King Charles III reportedly asks for the same birthday gift every year.

00:08According to King Charles III's former butler, Grant Harreld,

00:11the monarch likes to get anything to satiate his green thumb.

00:15He would always ask for things for the garden, the ex-staffer told Daily Express.

00:20He's previously asked for benches, plants, and trees.

00:23Gardening is his real passion.

00:25Royal gardener Jack Stooks backed up Grant Harreld's claim.

00:30That's what he tends to put on his list, the greenery specialist told Daily Express.

00:34He would ask for trees, shrubs, roses, and hedging.

00:38He would plant them at one of the royal gardens,

00:40either Clarence House, Buckingham Palace, Windsor, Sandringham, or up in Scotland.

00:45Even Hollywood's biggest names know what's on King Charles III's wish list.

00:49Elton John gave him an Indian bean tree,

00:51a golden Indian bean tree that used to grow at High Grove,

00:55which unfortunately has now died, Jack Stooks said.

00:57Pierce Brosnan and his wife once gifted the king a magnolia tree,

01:02which is now large and growing in the orchard.

01:05When they later visited, they were friendly and down to earth,

01:08and were shown the tree they had given him.

01:10King Charles III's love of gardening began when he and Princess Anne were young.

01:14My interest in gardening was always there, the 77-year-old said in a 2010 interview.

01:20As a child, they had a small vegetable plot at Buckingham Palace,

01:24but High Grove offered a blank canvas, allowing them to start gardening from scratch.

01:29King Charles III also has a deep passion for environmental conservation.

01:33Do we want to go down in history as the people who did nothing to bring the world back from the brink,

01:39in time to restore the balance when we could have done?

01:42I don't want to, he said during a passionate speech about climate change at the World Economic Forum in 2020.
