King Charles has been dubbed a "modern king" after he appeared on the latest episode of Elton John's Apple Music radio show, which aired on his 78th birthday.

The pair secretly recorded the episode of Rocket Hour at the Apple Music Studios in Battersea Power Station in London last month to mark 50 years of the King's charity, The King's Trust. Charles described it as "an opportunity too good to resist," while Elton John, 79, admitted afterward, "I learnt a lot from speaking to His Majesty."

During the hour-long episode, the monarch and music icon reminisced about performances by some of music's biggest names in support of the Trust over the past five decades - from Wembley Arena rock galas of the 1980s through to pop concerts in Hyde Park and sold-out charity shows at the Royal Albert Hall.

Fans praised the chat on Instagram, with one person gushing, "King Charles is The Modern King! Over the past fifty years, The King's Trust has supported countless young musicians."

Another expressed, "This is just the best. KC knows 100% exactly what & who he is talking about. Wow! I'm super impressed."

A third fan added, "He is a perfect King," as a fourth commended, "Brilliant interview." A fifth chimed in, "Huge thank you, Apple Music, for a timeless meeting of legends."

Yet another penned, "It is wonderful to see His Majesty the King and Sir Elton John supporting exceptional new talent. Through this noble initiative, they demonstrate that true greatness lies in the ability to recognize undiscovered potential—opening doors for those just beginning their artistic journeys.

"Warmest birthday wishes to King Charles III! May the good he inspires in others continue to bring him many reasons for joy!!!"
