King Charles on what he finds 'incredibly hard' as surprise music tast uncovered
He made the admission in an historical first as he is now the first British monarch to make a podcast
King Charles finds it 'incredibly hard' not to dance to Kylie Minogue. He made the admission in a historical first as he is now the first British monarch to make a podcast
The 76-year-old monarch has curated a playlist for Apple Music, 'The King's Music Room', in honour of Commonwealth Day on Monday (10.03.25) and among his choices were the 56-year-old Australian singer's version of 'The Loco-Motion'.
â
Describing the song as 'music for dancing', Charles said: "It has that infectious energy which makes it, I find, incredibly hard to sit still. There is such an irresistibly joyous feeling to that song.â
And another track the king loves to groove to is Diana Ross' 'Upside Down', one of two bonus songs on the playlist from non-Commonwealth artists.
Hailing the song a "particular favourite", he said: "When I was much younger, it was absolutely impossible not to get up and dance when it was played! So, I wonder if I can still just manage it...?!"
â
The other bonus track was 'Crazy in Love' by Beyonce, who Charles introduced as "a performer so exceptional that I just could not resist including her music."
The former Destiny's Child singer performed the song at a concert for his own Prince's Trust - which is now known as the King's Trust - charity in 2003, and the monarch praised her as one of "the Trustâs most faithful supporters". He added: "Incidentally, I would like to congratulate her for winning her first Album of the Year Grammy."
â
Raye, who the king met at Apple HQ in London two months ago, also features on the song collection. The king said: "Anyone who saw Raye perform at the Grammy Awards will know that she is a great ambassador for British Music. So here she is with 'Love me Again'."
The King also reflected on meeting the late Bob Marley as he introduced the late reggae legend's 'Could You Be Loved'. He praised Bob's "marvellous, infectious energy⌠but also his deep sincerity, and his profound concern for his community."
He added: "I always recall his words âThe people have a voice inside of themâ. He gave the world that voice in a way that no-one who heard can ever forget."

âThroughout my life, music has meant a great deal to me. I know that is also the case for so many others,â the British monarch said.
