Overview
- The hour‑long episode will premiere on Apple Music 1 at 9 a.m. GMT on Saturday, November 14, with free repeats over the weekend and on‑demand access afterward.
- The recording was made in secret last month at Apple Music’s new Battersea studios and is the first Rocket Hour episode produced at that facility.
- Charles and Sir Elton use the programme to recall fundraising concerts from Wembley, Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall and to discuss artists who benefited from the Trust’s early support.
- A curated playlist is featured but was mostly withheld until broadcast; confirmed inclusions are Raye’s “Joy,” Skye Newman’s “Hairdresser,” and Muse’s rendition of “Feeling Good.”
- The special builds on Apple and the Palace’s wider partnership, including the Apple x King’s Trust Creative Labs, and aims to spotlight training opportunities and boost public interest in the charity’s work.
