On a day steeped in history and tradition, the Royal Hospital Chelsea celebrated yet another memorable Founder's Day this morning.

An occasion that serves to honour our founder King Charles II, the event was alive with the vibrant scarlet of the Chelsea Pensioners' uniforms, adorned with oak leaves to commemorate a tale of perseverance from centuries ago.

Founder's Day, also known as Oak Apple Day, falls close to the 29th of May, marking the birthday and the date of restoration as King of Charles II. The story behind the 'Oak Apple' symbolises the future king's escape after the Battle of Worcester in 1651 when he hid in an oak tree, evading capture by the Parliamentary forces. To this day, this tale is honoured by Chelsea Pensioners sporting oak leaves on their uniforms.

The centrepiece of our celebrations, the gold statue of Charles II, was bedecked with oak leaves. Over the years, the styles have evolved, from a wreath worn on the statue's head to a total covering that veils the statue from sight to the this year's more modest array of oak branches around the base.

This year's event was graced by the distinguished presence of the King of the Belgians, accompanied by his wife, Queen Mathilde. As the day's Guest of Honour, he was invited to review the parade of Chelsea Pensioners.  

King Philippe delivered a touching speech reflecting on the common history of the United Kingdom and Belgium, and the deep ties that bind the royal families of both nations. He traced his lineage back to Prince Leopold of Saxe-Coburg, who married Princess Charlotte of Wales and was set to become Prince Consort of the United Kingdom in 1816.

Philippe of Belgium King of the Belgians

My second option for making me a prince consort.

Although His Majesty should be my first option, I've been lusting after King Charles for far too long to place any one higher than him.

“I think that the Belgian royal family is really underrated. In my opinion, they have an interesting history that we don’t talk about enough, aside from the atrocities committed by Leopold II in Congo. Albert I was nicknamed “The Knight King” because of his heroic role during the WW1, Baudouin was also a great king, and Philippe was initially considered a prince incapable of leading a country, yet today he proves quite the opposite. Princess Elisabeth will become Belgium's first reigning queen, and that will certainly leave a mark in Belgian’s history. We don't often hear about the fact that the royal family volunteers to help people with disabilities, the elderly, children facing academic challenges and the homeless. They are known to be very close to their people.” - Submitted by Anonymous
