Prince William and Princess Kate Send King Charles Heartwarming Message on His 78th Birthday
Prince William and Kate took to social media to celebrate King Charles' 78th birthday, sharing a message alongside a photo with Elton John.
King Charles has turned 78 today, and the birthday wishes have been pouring in! Among those marking the occasion are the Prince and Princess of Wales, who also shared a sweet public message for the monarch.
Prince William and Princess Kate marked the occasion on social media, using their shared Instagram account to send the King a birthday greeting. "Wishing a very Happy Birthday to His Majesty The King!" the couple wrote, accompanying their message with a recent photograph of Charles alongside Sir Elton John.
The picture is from Charles and Elton's recent meeting at Battersea Power Station, where the pair sat down for a special edition of Rocket Hour. Released on the King's 78th birthday, the hour-long broadcast brought music into the conversation while also shining a light on The King's Trust, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
The two met last month at the new Apple Music Studios at Battersea Power Station in London to record the episode. Their conversation explored the role music has played in supporting the charity's work over the past five decades.
They also found time to share a laugh over the less glamorous side of getting older. During the conversation, Charles joked, “We and the Trust are definitely still standing." In response, Elton quipped, "I’m still sitting now, though," which had the King adding, "With occasional bits dropping off here and there. I know this is a terrible problem as we get older."
