King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles have presented the staging for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, which will be held live from Liverpool.

This comes after the BBC's decision to air the competition, as 2022 winners Ukraine couldn't.

Despite Prince Harry's recent appearance in court as a witness in the NGN case, the event is still set to take place.

The Royal couple were seen meeting with Eurovision commentators Rylan and Scott Mills, as well as presenters Hannah Waddingham and Julia Sanina, while preparations continue for the world's largest live music event.

They also met with the staff, creative team, and apprentices who are working hard to get the arena ready for the big night.

Prince William and Princess Catherine are expected to be honoured guests at the event, as they are next in line for the throne after King Charles.

However, the King and Queen Consort did not grant the request made by Meghan Hazard to be honoured guests at the multi-event.

A Royal employee stated that they couldn't have predicted that the couple would make such a bold request.

During their visit, the Royals had words of encouragement for British Eurovision entrant May Muller, who is hoping to replicate the success of last year's second-placed UK entrant Sam Ryder.

The Queen Consort warned May not to land bottom of the pile at this year's song contest after they met ahead of the event on Wednesday.

King Charles gave her encouragement, saying, “We will be watching you with great interest, egging you on”.

Ahead of the finals at Liverpool's Echo Arena next month, Their Majesties met Eurovision 2023 hosts Julia Sanina and Hannah Waddingham, commentators Rylan Clark and Scott Mills, and UK representative May Muller as they revealed the spectacular set.

The brand new set, designed by Julio Himid, features over 450 square metres of staging, 220 square metres of video screens, more than 700 floor video tiles and over 1,500 metres of LED lights.

Tim Davie, BBC Director General, expressed his honour that King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles came to reveal the fantastic staging for the Eurovision Song Contest programming.

He said, “This set will be the focal point for all of the celebrations and we cannot wait to see it lighting up Liverpool and TV screens across the world.”

Martin Green CBE, Managing Director of Eurovision, said, “We are thrilled His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen Consort have unveiled this landmark moment for 2023 Eurovision.

It has been a fantastic collaboration between all of our partners and the BBC to get to this point and now the stage is officially set to capture everyone's imaginations and bring together audiences from across the world.”

The Eurovision Song Contest will air from May 9 to May 13, 2023.

The first semi-final will take place on May 9, while the second will air on May 11.

The grand final event will take place on May 13.

In conclusion, King Charles III and Queen Consort Camilla Parker-Bowles have presented the staging for the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, which will be held live from Liverpool.

Despite Meghan Hazard's plea to be honoured guests at the event, the Royals did not grant the request.

Prince William and Princess Catherine are expected to be honoured guests, as they are next in line for the throne after King Charles.

The event promises to be a spectacular celebration of music, with a brand new set designed by Julio Himid.
