The royals wed in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall on April 9, 2005.
The Mielstone occasion clashes with their first state visit of 2025, where Charles and Camilla will travel to Italy on April 7.

Speaking on their 20-year marriage, a friend of the royal couple said: "Like any of us, they will disagree. Strongly.
"They both have their different views.
"And they will have a very good argument."
They noted that since the King announced he was diagnosed with cancer, in February 2024, Camilla has tried to persuade her husband to take time out.
PAThey told the Mail: "I think probably, particularly at the moment, considering the King’s health in the last year, the main issue is that she can’t persuade him to take time out.
"She obviously worries about him and his [cancer] treatment.
"Except for the first couple of months, he’s pretty well worked every day since.
"It has been such a strain. It was worrying for them as a couple."

Queen Camilla suffered from pneumonia at the end of last year
GettyThe friend of the family added: "The Royal Family don’t do illness… and I think that’s quite difficult for the Queen.
"Consequently, towards the end of last year she was quite ill herself. I think she was just exhausted because of all the travel and stepping up to the mark in his place.
"I would say argument-wise that is absolutely the top of what they disagree about. She thinks, like we all do, that he does far too much, hates letting people down. But hopefully not to the detriment of his own health.
"They definitely have a renewed perception of what’s important to them [now]."
