King Charles is to call for unity and building bridges in what he describes as "these uncertain times" of international tension, in a message to mark Commonwealth Day next week. In the annual message to mark the day on Monday, the King will emphasise the value of nations coming together in a "spirit of support, and crucially, friendship".

King Charles III is launching a personal playlist of music that lifts his spirits and brings back important memories, including Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue and Grace Jones. He was photographed at Buckingham Palace for the music project, named the King's Music Room, with an "on air" sign on the desk of the royal DJ.

The King has said restoring the 'disrupted harmony of our entire planet' is the most 'important' task facing humanity, in his Commonwealth Day message.
