During the Changing of the Guard ceremony the day after Parton\u2019s death, the military band played the late country singer\u2019s hit song \u201c9 to 5.\u201d<\/p>\n

King Charles and Queen Camilla shared footage of the moving moment via social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemembering the late, great Dolly, who brought joy, comfort and inspiration to so many \u2014 including the millions of children given free books through her Imagination Library,\u201d the caption read.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will always \u2764\ufe0f you,\u201d the royals concluded, referencing another of Parton\u2019s iconic releases.<\/p>\n

Social media users praised the \u201cwonderfully done\u201d and \u201cperfect\u201d tribute in the comments, with many writing it \u201cbrought [them] to tears.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parton\u2019s nephew announced the singer\u2019s death at 80 in an emotional video Tuesday, with her reps later confirming to Page Six that she \u201cbravely fac[ed] a brief battle with cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOur beloved Dolly Parton spent her life and career bringing joy, laughter, hope and integrity into everything she touched,\u201d it continued. \u201cHer unmatched generosity reached the lives of countless people whom she would never meet, yet she was always there to offer a helping hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Parton first hinted at her \u201chealth challenges\u201d last year but did not provide further details to fans as she made headlines for canceling multiple appearances.<\/p>\n

In the Grammy winner\u2019s final interview days before her death, Parton told People, \u201cI am dealing with some health issues that I just didn\u2019t pay attention to when I was watching over [my late husband], Carl [Thomas Dean].\u201d<\/p>\n

Dean, notably, died in March 2025 at 82 years old of an undisclosed prolonged illness.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

He and Parton had been married for nearly 59 years at the time of his passing.<\/p>\n

The \u201cHannah Montana\u201d alum spoke about her grief to Entertainment Tonight in May 2025, saying she\u2019d \u201cmiss him \u2026 for the rest of [her] life.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI\u2019m having to really go through a lot trying to figure out how to be without him because I was with him for so long.\u201d<\/p>\n
