King Charles loves Beyoncé despite Meghan support
The monarch added Beyoncé to a list of songs that bring him joy four years after the singer praised Meghan Markle's bombshell interview.
King Charles III added Beyoncé to his new King's Music Room project despite the singer previously backing Meghan Markle.
Charles' latest project was intended to showcase songs that bring him "joy" and he added Crazy in Love to the Apple Music playlist.
In the radio show, he described the Cowboy Carter singer as "a performer so exceptional that I just could not resist including her music" and added that she was one of his charity's "most faithful supporters."

Meghan reacted by telling Prince Harry: "I still can't believe she knows who I am," in comments caught on camera by Netflix for her 2022 biopic Harry & Meghan.
Beyonce's support came at the peak of Meghan's rising stardom in America before the Sussexes have more recently experienced a reputational fall.
At the time, the Oprah interview represented a full scale crisis for the monarchy, with racially charged allegations against an unnamed royal.
Four years later, Meghan's bombshells appear to have largely drifted into the rear view mirror and Charles naming Beyoncé among his favorite artists serves as a hint that he feels a degree of comfort and confidence with where the dust has eventually settled.
What to KnowKing Charles introduced Crazy in Love towards the end of the radio show: "So I'll leave you, if I may, with two final songs. First from a performer so exceptional that I just could not resist including her music.
"She performed this song at the then Prince's Trust 'Fashion Rocks' concert in the Royal Albert Hall in 2003.
"Now, the King's Trust International is turning 10 years old this year and, as I mentioned earlier, the re-named King's Trust U.K., will reach its 50th anniversary year, so I wanted to include an iconic musical moment from the many events which have supported my Trust's work for young people over all these years.
"Therefore, here is one of the Trust's most faithful supporters, the incomparable Beyoncé, with the song Crazy In Love. And incidentally, I would like to congratulate her for winning her first 'album of the year' Grammy."
Beyoncé first signaled support for Meghan after winning a Brit Award in February 2019, when she posted a photo alongside Jay Z in front of an oil painting of Meghan wearing a crown.

Then, Meghan's December 2022 Netflix series showed Meghan receiving a message from Beyoncé shortly after the Oprah Winfrey interview was broadcast in March 2021.
"Beyonce just texted, just checking in," Meghan said. "I still can't believe she knows who I am... She said she wants me to feel safe and protected.
"She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed."
What People Are SayingKing Charles introduced his Music Room with the message: "Throughout my life music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others.
"But it has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories flooding back from the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness and take us to distant places.
"But perhaps above all, it can lift our spirits to such a degree. All the more so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy."
What Happens NextKing Charles' Music Room went live on Monday, meaning he will soon know how much interest there has been in his playlist.
Meanwhile, Meghan is preparing for the full launch of her lifestyle website As Ever, in the spring, and she has a new podcast on the way too.
