Royal Family Celebrates Pride Month With Song No One Saw Coming
Royal Family Celebrates Pride Month With Song No One Saw Coming originally appeared on Parade. Pride Month is in full swing, and the royal family has shown support for the LGBTQ+ community once again, this time with a musical celebration that came as a delightful surprise. On Saturday, July 5, the Pride of London Parade took to the city's streets to showcase and celebrate the rich, complex and meaningful history of London's beautifully diverse LGBTQ+ community. The parade, made up of roughly 500 groups, community organizations, businesses and allies, included 35,000 participants, who all marched in solidarity. Outside Buckingham Palace, the festivities continued as several Coldstream Guards, a division within the British military tasked with protecting the royal family, broke out their instruments and burst into song. Passersby were treated to special performance of Pink Pony Club, the queer pop anthem about self-acceptance and joy penned and made famous by Chappell Roan. The royal family shared a video of the triumphant performance on Instagram with the simple, yet poignant caption, "Happy Pride! 🌈🪩✨" The Crown's public display of allyship left fans feeling emotional. Many took to the comments section to share their meaningful, often powerful responses to the performance. "Look at that. The king himself who believes strongly in God can also celebrate pride. Without any doubt or fear or prejudice," wrote one commenter. "See how a leader celebrates ALL people under their care, without being threatened by the existence of diversity? Very calm, very demure," said another. Another commenter pointed out that the royal family is following in the footsteps of the late Queen Elizabeth II. "Queen Elizabeth II's legacy carries on. The "Turing Law" under Her Majesty's reign pardoned Oscar Wilde charged with "indecency" years and years ago. Quite the right thing to do. Hail His Majesty King Charles III!!! 👑 🌈" Royal Family Celebrates Pride Month With Song No One Saw Coming first appeared on Parade on Jul 7, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 7, 2025, where it first appeared.

But she has work back in the U.S. starting Monday. She works for Morgan Stanley." The crowd replied with shouts and boos as Emma, 24, put her head in her hands while laughing.
