00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:14.160
Calorogus Shark Media. Hello and welcome to Palace intry Agam
2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.199
your host Mark Francis. It was a day of splendor,
3
00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:21.120
symbolism and subtle signals this year's trooping the color as
4
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:24.600
King Charles the third marked his official birthday with the
5
00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.679
traditional military pageantry, this time set against a backdrop of
6
00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:33.799
national mourning, royal reunion and one very notable absence. The
7
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:36.399
King and Queen led the royal procession from Buckingham Palace
8
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.520
in the carriage, waving to thousands who lined the mall
9
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:43.280
in central London. King Charles now seventy six, was dressed
10
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.880
in the ceremonial uniform of the Welsh Guards and wore
11
00:00:45.920 --> 00:00:49.280
a black armband, a symbol of mourning for the victims
12
00:00:49.320 --> 00:00:52.200
of the devastating air in the crash. At the King's
13
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:55.039
personal request, other members of the royal family and senior
14
00:00:55.079 --> 00:00:58.759
officers participating in the event also wore black armbands in
15
00:00:58.840 --> 00:01:02.079
tribute the tragedy, which took place earlier this week, claimed
16
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.359
the lives of more than two hundred seventy people, including
17
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:08.280
over fifty British citizens. A minute's silence was observed during
18
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.159
the ceremony, signaled by a Bugler's call of the last
19
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:15.159
Post and concluded with the revere. As the crowd stood
20
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.400
in solemn respect, a lone helicopter broke the silence overhead,
21
00:01:18.640 --> 00:01:21.920
a haunting an unplanned punctuation to the King's act of remembrance.
22
00:01:22.359 --> 00:01:26.000
A Palace spokesperson said the King had personally requested amendments
23
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:27.959
to the event as a mark of respect for the
24
00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.000
lives lost, the families in mourning, and all the communities
25
00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:35.200
affected by this awful tragedy. The Sovereign's carriage procession led
26
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:38.079
into the horse Guard's Parade, where more than fourteen hundred soldiers,
27
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:41.280
two hundred horses, and over four hundred musicians had assembled
28
00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:44.239
for the formal ceremony. The colour being trooped was that
29
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:48.079
of number seven Company Cold String Guards, celebrating its three
30
00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:52.519
hundred seventy fifth anniversary. As tradition dictates, the King inspected
31
00:01:52.519 --> 00:01:55.640
the troops before taking his position on the dais, alongside
32
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:58.200
Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales, who returned to
33
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:03.000
public royal duties in an away for this event. Catherine,
34
00:02:03.040 --> 00:02:05.959
Princess of Wales attended this year's ceremony and her role
35
00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.800
as Colonel of the Irish Guards, having been absent from
36
00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:12.639
last year's trooping due to cancer treatment. Her return was
37
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:15.759
warmly received both by the gathered crowds and across the country.
38
00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:19.400
The Princess war a Catherine Walker coat, dressed in awquad blue,
39
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:22.879
the same shade as the Irish Guard's uniform plumes, paired
40
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:26.919
with a Juliette botterill hat and regimental brooch. She completed
41
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.439
the look with pearl drop earrings once owned by the
42
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:32.879
late Queen Elizabeth the Second. Her daughter, Princess Charlotte, matched
43
00:02:32.919 --> 00:02:36.639
her mother's palette, wearing a complimentary pale awkward dress and
44
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:40.319
her signature braid hairstyle. The pair rode together in a
45
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:42.879
carriage with Prince George and Prince Louis, a site that
46
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:47.560
grew cheers from the thousands gathered along the route. Prince William,
47
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.080
the Prince of Wales, participated on horseback riding, derby a
48
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:54.199
steed once gifted to Queen Elizabeth by the Royal Canadian
49
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:58.240
Mounted Police. William, who serves as Colonel of the Welsh Guards,
50
00:02:58.439 --> 00:03:00.840
also wore a black armband to his father. As the
51
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.280
troops marched past the king in both slow and QuickTime,
52
00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:06.560
The Princess Royal Colonel of the Blues and Royals, and
53
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:09.400
the Duke of Edinburgh, Colonel of the Scots Guards, also
54
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:12.120
rode in the parade and for regalia, each acknowledging their
55
00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.560
regiments with military precision. On the balcony of Buckingham Palace,
56
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:19.080
the full lineup of senior working royals gathered to observe
57
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.319
the traditional arraya fly past. King Charles and Queen Miller
58
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:24.599
were joined by Prince William and Princess Kate Melon with
59
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:27.960
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Also present were
60
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.319
Princess Anne and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence,
61
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:34.120
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and
62
00:03:34.280 --> 00:03:38.520
Duchess of Gloucester. The Red Arrows swept overhead to roaring applause,
63
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:42.120
this year, notably using an eco friendly fuel blend, a
64
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:47.240
subtle nod to the King's long standing environmental advocacy. Crowds
65
00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:49.840
broke into chants of God Save the King and we
66
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:53.120
Love the King as the family appeared on the balcony,
67
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:58.199
although those sentiments weren't unanimous. Anti monarchy protesters were present too,
68
00:03:58.759 --> 00:04:02.039
holding signs and chanting not my King during the parade,
69
00:04:02.280 --> 00:04:04.759
but the sound of jet engines ultimately drowned out the
70
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:09.080
protesters as the fly pass roared over London. Absent from
71
00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:12.240
the ceremony was Prince Harry, who was reportedly not invited
72
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.479
to this year's Trooping the Colour. The Duke and Duchess
73
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.519
of Sussex last attendant Trooping the Color in twenty twenty two,
74
00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.680
appearing briefly on the sidelines but notably absent from the balcony.
75
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:25.240
Despite this, the royal family presented a united public front,
76
00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:28.079
with the Princess of Wales's return providing a poignant and
77
00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:32.319
hopeful note to the day's proceedings. Her reappearance at Trooping
78
00:04:32.360 --> 00:04:35.279
twenty twenty five was more than symbolic that reasserted her
79
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:39.040
place as one of the monarchy's most popular and resilient figures.
80
00:04:39.279 --> 00:04:42.319
Royal historian Amanda Foreman described her as the MVP of
81
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:45.839
the royal family, while former Press Secretary to Queen Elizabeth
82
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.160
Elissa Anderson remarked what a difference a year makes. She's
83
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:51.600
even more beloved in the nation's hearts than she was.
84
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.519
As the ceremony came to her close, the King and
85
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:57.319
Queen led their family in one final wave from the balcony.
86
00:04:57.839 --> 00:05:00.600
This trooping of the color Charles Third is mon carried
87
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.439
the weight of both continuity and change more palace in
88
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:11.480
just a moment. Sir David Beckham, Sir Gary Oldman and
89
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.480
Sir Roger Daughtry, three icons of British culture, have been
90
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.560
knighted in the twenty twenty five King's Birthday Honours list.
91
00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:19.639
The honors, released as part of King Charles the Third's
92
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:24.360
official Birthday celebrations, recognized distinguished achievements and service to the nation.
93
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:27.439
This year, the spotlight falls on a football legend, a
94
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.720
Hollywood heavyweight, and a rock and roll sit David Beckham
95
00:05:30.759 --> 00:05:34.199
received his knighthood for services to sport and charity. Already
96
00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.639
in Obe since two thousand and three, Beckham's long anticipated
97
00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:41.439
elevation to Sir David crowns a career that transcends football.
98
00:05:41.639 --> 00:05:45.720
He captained England, won league titles in England, Spain, the
99
00:05:45.839 --> 00:05:49.600
US and France, and has since focused on philanthropic work,
100
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:53.079
notably as a unis F ambassador since two thousand and five.
101
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.279
Last year, he also became an ambassador for the King's Foundation,
102
00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.279
with the honor his wife formas by school turned fashion
103
00:05:59.279 --> 00:06:03.839

104
00:06:04.360 --> 00:06:07.279
Roger Daughtrey, eighty one, co founder and frontman of the
105
00:06:07.279 --> 00:06:09.680
Who has been knighted for his decades of charity work.
106
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.279
In addition to fronting one of Britain's most influential rock bands,
107
00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:17.000
Daughtry has championed causes close to his heart, particularly the
108
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.279
Teenage Cancer Trust, where he's been the patron since two thousand.
109
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.639
Under his leadership, the charity's annual Royal Albert Hall Concert
110
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.759
series has raised millions for young people with cancer. Now,
111
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:30.040
Sir Roger joins a small pantheon of rock knights, among
112
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:34.120
them Paul McCartney, Elton John and Mick Jagger. Oscar winning
113
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.360
actor Gary Oldman was honored for his services to drama.
114
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:40.199
From his early career on British stages and screens to
115
00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.680
global fame as Sirius Black and Harry Potter films. Oldman
116
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.839
is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of
117
00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.759
his generation. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor
118
00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:52.240
in twenty eighteen for his towering portrayal of Winston Churchill
119
00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:56.319
in Darkest Hour. His knighthood recognizes a lifetime of theatrical
120
00:06:56.360 --> 00:07:00.360
and cinematic achievement. The King's Birthday Honors, released each June,
121
00:07:00.439 --> 00:07:04.160
complement the new Year's Honours list, which earlier this year
122
00:07:04.199 --> 00:07:08.040
sought Knighthood's awarded to Stephen Frye, former England manager Gareth
123
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.639
Southgate and London mayor Sadik Kahan. Honors are reviewed by
124
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.720
independent panels across various sectors and ultimately approved by the monarch.
125
00:07:16.360 --> 00:07:19.800
This year's list, signed off by King Charles himself, reflects
126
00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:25.160
a particularly nostalgic flavor, celebrating a footballing icon, rock legend
127
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:29.720
and one of Britain's greatest screen chameleons. Authree now joined
128
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:32.680
the exclusive ranks of Knights of the Realm forever sir
129
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:37.360
in name and already legendary in status. King Charles was
130
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:40.000
joined by a star studded lineup of guests on Thursday
131
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.040
for the King's Foundation Awards at Saint James Palace, where
132
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.160
he celebrated the charity's thirty fifth anniversary alongside friends and
133
00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:50.160
ambassadors at the Foundation. Among those in attendance were David Beckham,
134
00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:54.279
Merrill Strap, Kate Winslet, Stanley Tucci, Sir Rod Stewart, Penny
135
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:58.199
Lancaster and Alan Titchmarsh. The King was seen laughing and
136
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:01.360
chatting with his guests as he honored individuals and organizations
137
00:08:01.399 --> 00:08:05.560
making strides and sustainability, traditional crafts and environmental education across
138
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:08.879
the UK. Beckham, who became an ambassador for the foundation
139
00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:10.680
last year, agreed to the King with a bower of
140
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:13.879
your majesty. Winslet, described as a friend of the foundation,
141
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:16.199
was over her, telling the King, don't worry, Who've got
142
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:20.240
you back. One particularly notable guest was three time Oscar
143
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.839
winner Meryl Streep, who was warmly greeted by the King.
144
00:08:23.079 --> 00:08:25.920
Streep standing between Beckham and Winslet, sheared a lighthearted moment
145
00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:28.600
with Charles, years after she once joked in an interview
146
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.560
that as a child she dreamed of marrying him. I
147
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:33.639
told him I was sorry it didn't work out between us,
148
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:36.639
she once quipped, but I'm not really sorry. During the event,
149
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:39.039
the King cut a floral cake shaped as the number
150
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.080
thirty five and met with prize winners across eight categories.
151
00:08:42.480 --> 00:08:46.080
The ceremony also showcased the foundation's education programs and a
152
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:50.559
time capsule to be buried later this year, and they
