During an official visit to Manchester, King Charles III of the United Kingdom found himself in an unexpected role — behind the DJ booth. The episode took place in the cultural space Aviva Studios, where the monarch met with young participants of creative programs.
During a tour of the studio where the art organization Factory International is based, King Charles III interacted with young people who received support from The King’s Trust charity. One participant, aspiring DJ Christian Saint-Louis, suggested the king try his hand at music mixing.
Under the guidance of the young musician, the monarch learned the basics of operating the equipment. Saint-Louis explained how to load tracks and manage the functions of the console, noting that at first, the system might seem complicated due to the number of buttons.
Witnesses noted that the king was actively engaged in the process and even attempted to catch the rhythm. When remarked upon the complexity of operating the equipment, King Charles III smiled and replied that one just needs to "get used to it."
Photos and videos from this moment quickly spread on social media, eliciting lively reactions from users. Commentators humorously dubbed the monarch the "king of DJs" and noted his willingness to try something new.
It was previously reported that King Charles III learned to play several musical instruments in his youth, including the piano and cello, which may have contributed to his interest in musical activities.
The visit to Manchester was part of a broader program aimed at supporting cultural initiatives and young talents in the UK.
