King and Queen hear music written for 20th anniversary
The Independent
|April 14, 2025
The King and Queen heard a new piece of music celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary at a church service near Balmoral yesterday.
Charles and Camilla waved to onlookers as they exited their car outside the tiny granite Crathie Kirk, where Queen Elizabeth II was a regular worshipper. Charles wore a kilt and tweed jacket while Camilla wore a blue coat with a tartan lapel and a red hat decorated with a feather.
Before entering the church the couple were given a handwritten manuscript of the new piece, called “The Weather of My Being”, by its composer Professor Paul Mealor. Professor Mealor, who has created music for a number of royal events including the Prince and Princess of Wales’s wedding and several of Charles’s birthdays, also gave the Royal couple a volume containing all the music he composed for their coronation in 2023.
