ALBAWABA - Windsor Castle witnessed an unusual royal performance as King Charles took part in a musical event celebrating community music, hosted within the historic royal residence.
The highlight of the event was a performance by the London Vegetable Orchestra, the only ensemble of its kind that performs using instruments crafted entirely from locally grown vegetables.
During the gathering, King Charles was invited to join the orchestra and play a tune on one of their signature instruments—a flute fashioned from a carrot. The monarch delighted attendees by performing a rendition of the 19th-century lullaby "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", as seen in widely circulated video clips from the event.
The King also shared a lighthearted moment with soprano April Koyejo-Audiger, who has previously performed with the Royal Opera. According to The Daily Telegraph, he joked about hoping the musicians would eat the carrots afterward to avoid food waste.
Later, the King met with guests in the historic Waterloo Chamber of Windsor Castle, where he watched performances by the Royal College of Music and the “Singing for Freedom” choir.
This marked King Charles’s return to official public duties following a brief hospitalization caused by temporary side effects from ongoing medical treatment. The monarch had recently canceled several engagements, but his participation in this joyful event signaled his gradual resumption of public life.
