This king won't "do the conga" anytime soon!

King Charles delivered a speech Thursday night for VE Day, 80 years since his grandfather, King George VI, did the same on the day that marked the end of WWII in Europe.

“The Allied victory being celebrated then, as now, was a result of unity between nations, races, religions and ideologies, fighting back against an existential threat to humanity," Charles said.

"We must also remember those who were still fighting, still living with conflict and starvation on the other side of the world."

Charles referenced his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II's journal from that time. She "described in her diary how she mingled anonymously in the crowds across central London," the king said. "Conga-ed into House. Sang till 2 a.m. Bed at 3 a.m.!

“I do hope your celebrations tonight are almost as joyful, although I rather doubt I shall have the energy to sing until 2 a.m., let alone for that matter to lead you all in a giant conga from here back to Buckingham Palace!" the royal joked, which was met with laughter from the audience.

The king also acknowledged the significance of remembering the war.

“As the number of those who lived through the Second World War so sadly dwindles, the more it becomes our duty to carry their stories forward, to ensure their experiences are never to be forgotten," he said.

“For as my grandfather put it: ‘We shall have failed, and the blood of our dearest will have flowed in vain, if the victory which they died to win does not lead to a lasting peace, founded on justice and established in good will.'"

This flower has both beauty and purpose.

Kate Middleton and Prince William revealed Friday on social media that a new peachy-pink variety of roses called "Catherine's Rose" will be grown in the princess' honor, with proceeds going to a charity very personal to the future queen.

"Spending time in nature has always been a source of comfort and strength," the royals' X post reads.

"Gardens and green spaces provide not only beauty and joy, but also vital support for our mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing."

Proceeds will be donated to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, aimed at helping cancer patients in the country "live well with, and beyond, cancer."

Kate, 43, announced last year that she had been diagnosed with cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. The Princess of Wales was treated at The Royal Marsden Hospital, she revealed in January when she visited the facility near Kensington Palace.

“It is a relief to now be in remission and I remain focused on recovery,” the royal wrote on social media at the time, thanking hospital staff who took care of her.

In a video shared last month, the Princess of Wales showcased how connecting to nature helped during her health struggles.

"It is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world,” Kate said.

LONDON — Frustrated Brits are demanding that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be sensationally stripped of their royal titles — with one exasperated local telling the Post, “Enough is enough.”

The Duke of Sussex, 40, managed to raise even more eyebrows last week by venting to the BBC about his fractured family dynamics — just hours after he lost his appeal for taxpayer-funded UK security.

“Why on Earth do we, the British public, need to foot the bill for this?” one infuriated Brit asked, referring to publicly-funded security for Harry, his wife Meghan Markle, and their two children.

“He chose to leave. Simple as. Want security? Should’ve stayed,” she scoffed.

A charity with ties to Prince Harry has owned up to multiple human rights abuses carried out by its park rangers.

African Parks — a non-profit conservation organization that had the Duke of Sussex as its president from 2017 until 2023 — admitted to several violations that took place in the Odzala-Kokoua National Park.

A damning investigation published earlier this year exposed myriad of abuses against indigenous people in the Republic of the Congo — including rape and torture.

Following an in-depth review, London-based law firm Omnia Strategy LLP, helmed by Cherie Blair, has released a statement about the shocking findings.

The law firm described its probe as “thorough and proportionate without attempting to be exhaustive.”

The charity, for its part, formally acknowledged the findings — saying that “in some incidents, human rights abuses have occurred.”

Princess Charlotte shares an especially close bond with her grandfather, King Charles, according to royal sources.

"He once wanted a daughter," royal author Ingrid Seward told PEOPLE. "I would think he has a very nice relationship with his granddaughter."

Many royal experts observe this sentiment as a callback to something the late Princess Diana revealed in the biography "Diana: Her True Story" by Andrew Morton.

"I knew Harry was going to be a boy because I saw on the scan," Diana said about Prince Harry's birth. "Charles always wanted a girl. He wanted two children, and he wanted a girl."

King Charles, 76, spends more time at Windsor Castle, which is close to where Prince William, Princess Kate, and their three children (George, 11, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, 7) live.

The King has also been spotted wearing a friendship bracelet that Charlotte likely made for him, a symbol of their special bond.

The young princess is said to have introduced the friendship-­bracelet, influenced by Taylor Swift fans, to the royal household, prompting royal family members, including William and her brother George, to wear them. 

As the only daughter of Prince William and Princess Kate, Charlotte, who just turned 10 on May 2, has been seen taking on a key role as a young royal with her duties, with some saying she exudes poise and confidence.

“She’s a natural and has taken to royal events like a duck to water,” a palace insider told PEOPLE.

The royal family is honoring those who served in World War II.

On VE Day's 80th anniversary, Prince William and Kate Middleton joined King Charles, Queen Camilla and more members of the royal family at Westminster Abbey to acknowledge the end of the war in Europe. "A Service of Thanksgiving to mark the 80th Anniversary of VE Day" was held for the occasion.

Less than 100 veterans were able to attend as the number of those from the Greatest Generation who are still alive dwindles.

The royals laid flowers to honor those who dedicated their lives to serving the country.

After the service, the royal family, led by Charles, stopped at the top of the aisle to talk to some of the veterans.

Kate interacted with guests, and took the time to talk animatedly to a woman in a wheelchair.

Prince William has no interest in mending fences with his estranged brother, Prince Harry.

On Friday, the Duke of Sussex sat down with the BBC for a bombshell interview hours after he lost his appeal for taxpayer-funded UK security for him and his family.

But the royals responded with deafening silence — choosing unity over words as they put on a show of solidarity on the Buckingham Palace balcony during Monday’s VE Day commemoration.

Palace insiders reveal that Harry, 40, could be waiting a long time — if ever — for his brother to break the silence.

“William doesn’t talk about Harry anymore,” a source told Us Weekly. “Everyone knows it’s a subject that they shouldn’t bring up, so he hasn’t brought up the interview and won’t.”

The insider added that the future king, 42, is “done” with the Invictus Games founder.

“When he becomes king, everybody thinks the divide will become even wider,” the source said of the Prince of Wales.
