May will be an amazing time to be in Britain with the Coronation next week and the Eurovision Song Contest to follow soon after.

But who knew the King was a Eurovision fan?

King Charles III will officially turn the lights on to reveal what the Eurovision stage will look like in Liverpool.

The King – along with Camilla, the Queen Consort – will tour the M&S Bank Arena later today ahead of it hosting the event next month.

As well as revealing the stage set-up they will meet show presenters and Mae Muller, who is representing the UK.

The stage design is intended to give the impression of the contest “opening its arms to Ukraine”, organisers have previously said.

The Royal couple will meet the creatives behind the event, along with the show’s Ukrainian host Julia Sanina, UK host – and Ted Lasso star – Hannah Waddingham and BBC Radio 2’s Eurovision presenters Scott Mills and Rylan Clark.

They will meet people involved in both a two-week cultural festival running alongside the contest and Eurolearn – a Eurovision-inspired education programme for primary and secondary pupils.

  1. Just watched the spectacle on TikTok of King Charles and Queen Camilla turning on the lights. It did make one think that a spectacular site it could’ve been if this was actually the coronation with all the lights and fanfare.
    For someone 75 and 76 respectfully good on the King and Queen for going out and doing these things.

  2. Time to stop being so informal and calling our king ‘Charles’. I don’t recall similar headlines ever referring to Queen Elizabeth as just ‘Elizabeth’. A little more respect for the king is required I think.
