One moment, in particular, captured the attention of royal fans: a special community music reception at Windsor Castle hosted by the King alongside the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester. The event aimed to celebrate the importance of community music.
In a series of photos and videos from the evening, Charles was seen performing a playful rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a carrot—presumably provided by the London Vegetable Orchestra, who performed at the event. Fans couldn’t get enough of the royal’s unexpected musical talent!
One fan commented: “If anything was going to bring a smile to my face, it’s King Charles playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a carrot, accompanied by a band of veggie instrument musicians. Truly delightful!” Another wrote: “It’s wonderful to see the King in good health and enjoying himself with his people.” A third added: “The King playing a carrot has put the biggest smile on my face. It’s great to see him so happy.”
Charles was also photographed meeting the London Gay Men’s Chorus, Songs for Ukraine, and The Sing for Freedom Choir before enjoying performances from the Royal College of Music London and saxophonist Yolanda Brown.
The King’s Health
The royal events came after Charles briefly visited the hospital last Thursday due to side effects from his cancer treatment. As a result, some of his upcoming engagements in Birmingham were postponed.
Buckingham Palace released a statement explaining: “Following scheduled medical treatment for cancer, The King experienced temporary side effects that required a short period of observation in hospital. His Majesty’s afternoon engagements were postponed as a result. He has since returned to Clarence House and, on medical advice, tomorrow’s engagements will also be rescheduled. His Majesty regrets any inconvenience caused.”
A palace spokesperson also mentioned: “The King was set to receive Credentials from the Ambassadors of three nations today and had four public engagements in Birmingham scheduled for tomorrow, which he is disappointed to miss.”
