GB News ground to a halt today for a piece of breaking news related to King Charles, as he prepares to deliver his Commonwealth Day message to the world. Anchor Ben Leo was speaking via video call to royal journalist Kinsey Schofield about the upcoming ceremony, as she remarked on the โnegative attentionโ focused on the British monarchy.
US journalist Kinsey said: โThereโs been so much negative attention on the British royal family lately; Commonwealth Day gives King Charles a chance to remind the world of the monarchyโs soft power. The Commonwealth of Nations exists to foster cooperation, democracy and sustainable development among its 56 member states. It amplifies the voices of smaller or more vulnerable nations, boosts trade between partners and strengthens diplomatic ties across the globe.โ
As she spoke, a breaking news banner played under the footage, which read: โBreaking: King: Commonwealth a โpreciousโ institution.โ
Kinsey continued: โHeโs using his Commonwealth Day message to champion the Commonwealth of Nations as a rare and precious alliance in what he calls an โincreasingly fragmented worldโ.
โThe King says the 56 nation bloc still has huge untapped potential, particularly when it comes to trade and cooperation, and is urging members to focus on opportunity for young people and collective action on climate change.โ

She concluded: โHis message comes ahead of Mondayโs Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey, which we have yet to see, where we do expect to see multiple senior members of the British royal family and thousands of guests celebrating the modern Commonwealth partnership.โ
The annual Commonwealth celebration will see performers including Spice Girls star Geri Halliwell and Strictyโs Oti Mabuse take to the stage.
The Commonwealth Symphony Orchestra will accompany the ceremony, with appearances from folk band Super Grouse and the Melodians Steel Orchestra.
