Buckingham Palace Honors Dolly Parton's Literacy Legacy After Her Death at 80

After Dolly Parton's death at 80 on August 26, 2026, the guard band at Buckingham Palace played "9 to 5" during the Changing of the Guard, the daily handover of the King's Guard. The palace's Instagram post and Queen Camilla's Reading Room foundation honored not just Parton's music but her Imagination Library, which has distributed over 300 million free children's books since 1995.
