• Eurovision 2023 stage has been unveiled by King Charles III and the Queen Consort this evening in M&S Bank Arena, Liverpool.

  The excitement for the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool is building up, and it got even more exciting when King Charles and Queen Consort arrived in the city to reveal the stage at the M&S Arena. The general manager of BBC, along with the head of the Eurovision production team, welcomed the royal couple and showed them around the arena.

   

  As they walked through the arena, Charles and Camilla were amazed by the grandeur and the scale of the stage. The massive LED screens and the intricate lighting system caught their attention, and they were impressed by the amount of work that went into creating such an amazing set for the contest.

  

   

  The royal couple also got the chance to speak to some of the Eurovision presenters, including Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, Emmy-winning actress Hannah Waddingham, and BBC Radio 2 commentators Rylan Clark and Scott Mills. They discussed the preparations for the show and expressed their admiration for the talent that would be on display during the contest.

  

   

  Charles and Camilla also had a chance to meet with UK 2023 contestant Mae Muller and Eurovision 2023 music director Kojo Samuel. They talked about the importance of music and the arts in bringing people together and fostering international relationships.

  

   

  Later that afternoon, Charles and Camilla visited the Liverpool Central Library to mark the twinning of the Library with Ukraine's first public Library, the Odesa Regional Scientific Library. They were given a warm welcome by the staff and the visitors, and they were impressed by the architecture and the history of the building.
