\n\tBuckingham Palace temporarily became the Pink Pony Club on Saturday (July 5), with King Charles celebrating Pride<\/a> 2025 by having the British Army Band perform a Chappell Roan<\/a> hit on his front doorstep.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a video shared by the Royal Family\u2019s official Instagram account, the uniformed army musicians stand in an arc around a conductor right outside the palace while playing a concert band arrangement of \u201cPink Pony Club.\u201d Where Roan\u2019s voice would usually sing, a choir of brass instruments instead plays the melody of the lyrics, \u201cGod, what have you done?\/ You\u2019re a pink pony girl\/ And you dance at the club.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHappy Pride!\u201d reads the video\u2019s caption, along with a rainbow and disco ball emoji.<\/p>\n

\n\tSince dropping in 2022 and later rising to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> this past April, \u201cPink Pony Club\u201d has become a bonafide LGBTQ+ anthem. London held its 2025 Pride festivities on July 5 this year, with Chaka Kahn headlining a day of celebrations that also featured a number of LGBTQ+ performers in the central part of the city.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusic has long been a focus of the Royal Family under King Charles, who took the throne after Queen Elizabeth died<\/a> at the age of 96 in 2022. In March, the monarch announced<\/a> that he would be DJing an Apple Music radio show titled The King\u2019s Music Room, on which he showcased some of his favorite tracks by Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, Davido and more.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThroughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me,\u201d King Charles said at the time. \u201cIt has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort us in times of sadness and take us to distant places. But perhaps, above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree, and all the more so when it brings us together in celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOver in the States, Roan is fresh off the release of her latest single, \u201cThe Giver,\u201d in March. The track marked her first piece of new music since her 2024 breakout hit \u201cGood Luck, Babe!,\u201d which followed 2023 debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.<\/p>\n
