Description
Long Live the King outlines who is in the royal family and their connection to Charles III and the throne. There are a large number of names, titles and dates but this information can of course be slimmed down if deemed necessary. There are a few insights into our new king’s character but it is for His Royal Highness to write the next part of his story – we all hope he’ll do a great job!
This script of around 15 minutes duration (cast of 30 – easily adapted up or down)
