Last year, the couple headed to Merseyside when Edward turned 58, while his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, paid tribute to her youngest son in a social media tribute.
Edward is expected to attend the Make A Splash gala at The Londoner on Tuesday and the day before his birthday, he will visit Sky Studios at Elstree.

Meanwhile, among Sophie's engagements in her diary this week is The Military Wives Choir Rehearsal at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. The Countess will also plant a tree for The Queen's Green Canopy in her role as patron of Lions Clubs International on Thursday.
The Wessexes, who have been married for 24 years this June, reside at Bagshot Park in Surrey.
The couple are parents to Lady Louise, 19, and James, Viscount Severn, 15.
Lady Louise is currently studying English at the University of St Andrews – where her older cousin, Prince William, met his future wife, Kate Middleton. Meanwhile, James is currently in Year 10 at school.
