The British royal family joined in on the Pride celebrations.
On Saturday, July 6, the official Instagram account for King Charles and Queen Camilla shared a video from the Pride of London Parade, which celebrated the conclusion of Pride month. The event featured more than 35,000 participants marching through the streets of London, from costumed drag queens to leather-clad bikers.
In the clip, a band of Coldstream Guards — whose primary role is to protect the monarchy — played a song in front of Buckingham Palace, opting to do their version of Chappell Roan‘s “Pink Pony Club,” which has been embraced by the queer community as a modern anthem.
“Happy Pride! 🌈🪩,” the post was captioned, to the glee of many commenters.
“This is wonderful and has made me feel proud xx,” one wrote, while another agreed, “We stan a royal ally 👏🏳️🌈.”
The royals have become more outspoken about LGBTQ+ issues in recent years. At an event spotlighting the issue of homelessness among queen youth in 2019, Prince William was asked what he would do if one of his children came out as gay one day. The heir to the throne shares three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7 — with wife Kate Middleton, and he said he would be “obviously, absolutely fine” with it.
“Do you know what, I’ve been giving that some thought recently because a couple of other parents said that to me as well,” William said at the time. “I think you really don’t start thinking about that until you are a parent, and I think — obviously, absolutely fine by me.”
“The one thing I’d be worried about is how they, particularly the roles my children fill, is how that is going to be interpreted and seen,” he said. “So Catherine and I have been doing a lot of talking about it to make sure they were prepared.”
The prince continued, “I think communication is so important with everything, in order to help understand it, you’ve got to talk a lot about stuff and make sure how to support each other and how to go through the process. It worries me not because of them being gay, it worries me as to how everyone else will react and perceive it, and then the pressure is then on them.”
The Brits aren’t the only royals who embraced Pride month this year.
In Norway, Maud Angelica Behn, the 22-year-old granddaughter of King Harald V and eldest daughter of Princess Martha Louise, announced that she was bisexual after attending Pride celebrations in Oslo.
