King Charles III has appeared on Sir Elton John's radio show in an episode set to coincide with the monarch's 78th birthday.

During the Rocket Hour show, the King said the pop star had become "a national treasure after all these years", to which the singer joked: "I'll be on the Antiques Roadshow."

"Join the club," the King replied.

The pair discussed some of their favourite musical performances, as well as the role music has played in the King's charity, the King's Trust. The show was recorded in secret last month and will air this Saturday.
