Happy King's Birthday Holiday 2025

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 9th of June this year. I think it is an occasion worth nothing and celebrating. So from me to you, happy King's Birthday Holiday!

 

I thought I would celebrate the day with a photo of my new limited edition His Majesty King Charles III Teddy Bear from Merrythought Bears in England.

 

Expertly hand-crafted at their historical Ironbridge factory in Shropshire, His Majesty King Charles III Teddy Bear has been carefully brought to life by Merrythought's highly skilled team using the finest silver-coloured mohair plush and soft cotton velvet. His left paw has been embroidered in gold thread to reflect His Majesty’s official Royal Cypher, whilst his wise and regal persona is subtly captured by his deep blue eyes and hand-stitched smile.

 

His Majesty King Charles III Teddy Bear wears the Royal Victorian Order Sash, recognising King Charles’ position as Sovereign of the Order. Made from official Royal Victorian Order ribbon, the sash is adorned with Italian gold tassels and a detailed enamel and gold-plated replica Order of the Garter star, which is attached with a gold-capped stud.

 

The Order of the Garter Star reflects the most noble and oldest British Order of Chivalry. It has been worn by His Majesty during important royal ceremonies, including his coronation in 2023.

 

His Majesty King Charles III Teddy Bear is individually numbered as part of a limited edition world release of 1948 pieces and he has a Certificate of Authenticity. He is number 10.
