King Charles and Elton John Celebrate 50 Years of The King's Trust on Radio

King Charles III joined Elton John on Apple Music’s Rocket Hour for a special programme marking 50 years of The King’s Trust.

The conversation featured songs and stories linked to the charity, which Charles founded in 1976 as the Prince’s Trust.

The charity aims to help disadvantaged people aged 11 to 30, and musicians have supported it through performances and fundraising over the years.

Charles and John discussed artists including Tina Turner, Rod Stewart and Muse, and played songs by several performers.

Their conversation connected British pop history with the Trust’s work, including a 1986 gala where John performed “I’m Still Standing.”

Charles also recalled a 2002 performance of “All You Need Is Love” at his mother’s Golden Jubilee.
