"Golden" Performed at Recent Palace Guard Ceremony
Military Band's Performance of "Golden" Goes Viral on Social Media

Recently, at the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the theme song "Golden" from the Netflix animation "K-Pop Demon Hunters" (hereafter referred to as K-Pop Demon Hunters) was performed, drawing significant attention. It has now been revealed that the reason for choosing this song was because Princess Charlotte is a fan. On the 12th (local time), the British media outlet The Sun reported that Ivy Brown, a 6-year-old girl living in Wokingham, Berkshire, sent a letter to Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, the daughter of the Prince and Princess of Wales (Prince William and Kate Middleton), and received a reply from the British royal family.

In her letter, Ivy introduced K-Pop Demon Hunters as the best movie she had ever seen and asked if Princess Charlotte had watched it as well. In response, the British royal family's reply stated that the signature song "Golden" had been performed during the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace. In fact, earlier last month, a video of the British military band performing "Golden" at the ceremony was shared on social media and became a hot topic. A copy of the letter shows that the royal correspondence was dated September 25, expressing "deep gratitude for the warm words of encouragement for Princess Charlotte" and stating that "Golden, the signature song of K-Pop Demon Hunters, was also performed at the Buckingham Palace Guard Changing Ceremony."
