Joining the mother of one to thrill guests at the coronation concert are other ‘A list’ artistes such as Steve Winwood, DJ Pete Tong, Lang Lang and Lucy, Paloma Faith and Olly Murs.
King Charles III was born at Buckingham Palace on 14 November 1948 at 9.14pm, by caesarean section, after a 30-hour labour.
His birth was the first of a senior member of the royal family not to be attended by a senior politician – to ensure that the newborn was a genuine descendant of the monarch – since the 17th century.
His first word was said to be “nana”, addressed to his nanny, Mabel Anderson.
