It's not every day you get to share your birthday with a prince, let alone over 60 other people who share the same birth date as you. A Kiwiana-themed birthday was held this afternoon at Government House for Prince Charles and 64 Kiwis who were born today. Prime Minister John Key's wife Bronagh and Governor-General Sir Jerry Mateparae also celebrated their birthday today. Prince Charles turned 64 today and was thrilled to hear the Beatles classic When I'm 64, played by the Royal New Zealand Air Force Band and sung by Australian opera singer Margaret Medlyn.
