King Charles will turn 78 on Saturday, November 14th, and he just executed the perfect plan to ring in his big day and talk about causes close to his heart. For years, the monarch has proudly run the King’s Trust and supported many young talents across the UK, and what better occasion to celebrate its successful endeavors than his special day? Perhaps for the same reason, Charles will be making a guest appearance on Sir Elton John’s radio show for a special episode that will premiere on his birthday.

The King sat down with the legendary singer-songwriter to discuss the power of music and the artists who have supported or been supported by the King’s Trust over the past fifty years. They will also reportedly talk about the biggest musical milestones in the history of the charity, including Wembley Arena Rock Galas of the 1980s, pop concerts in Hyde Park, and houseful charitable performances at the Royal Albert Hall. The episode will be accompanied by a playlist featuring artists like Raye and Skye Newman, who have performed in support of the King’s Trust over the years. 

“Music has always been at the heart of The Prince’s, and now The King’s Trust,” The King said in the episode as per a press release. “So when I was asked whether I would like to showcase a selection of music from among the many talented performers who have so generously supported us over the years, together with some of the newer artists The Trust has helped to launch, it was an opportunity too good to resist.” 


The special episode was shot at the new Apple Studios in London last month, and will be released on Saturday at 4:00 am EST on Apple Music 1.
