Happy King's Birthday Holiday

Although King Charles was born on the 14th of November, the Sovereign's birthday is officially celebrated by the ceremony of Trooping the Colour (King's Birthday Parade). This will take place on Saturday 17th June by Regiments of the Household Division, on Horse Guards Parade, with His Majesty The King attending and taking the salute.

 

In Australia there is a public holiday celebrated on different days depending upon the state. In Victoria, it is Monday 12th of June this year. It is the first King's Birthday Holiday we have had since 1952, which I think makes it an occasion worth nothing and celebrating. So from me to you, happy King's Birthday Holiday!

 

I thought I would celebarte the day with a photo of my King Charles III Commemorative Teddy Bear. Beautifully crafted in Merrythought’s historic British factory, His Majesty is a true heirloom and features golden mohair plush paired with pure cotton velvet paws, one of which is embroidered with The King’s official cypher and the occasion date. His noble persona is enhanced by deep blue eyes and a neatly hand-stitched nose and smile. He looks very much like his Royal human counterpart. Marking the first Coronation in seventy years, His Majesty is dressed in an impressive pure cotton velvet robe, with satin lining, gold embroidery and Italian tassel detailing. As befitting a new monarch, he is presented with a stunning silver-plated replica of the Imperial state crown. Adorned with twenty six glass gemstones, pure cotton velvet lining and white woven faux fur trim, it is a masterpiece in its own right.

 

His Majesty King Charles III Commemorative Teddy Bear is number 72 of a worldwide limited edition of 2023.

 

God bless His Majesty! Long may he reign over us!
