King Charles III is crazy in love with Beyoncé’s music.
The British monarch celebrated Queen Bey’s latest accomplishment on his Apple Music 1 Radio special, The King’s Room March 10. After revealing that her 2003 hit “Crazy in Love” featuring her husband Jay-Z made his playlist, the 78-year-old celebrated her Album of the Year win for Cowboy Carter at the 2025 Grammys.
Before going into the song, Charles noted, “I would like to congratulate her for winning her first Album of the Year Grammy.”
Speaking more about Beyoncé—who took home the honor for the first time after previously being nominated four times—Charles praised her as a musician and a supporter of The King’s Trust charity.
“First from a performer so exceptional that I just couldn’t resist including her music,” Charles said. “She performed this song at 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 renamed King’s Trust UK will reach its 50th anniversary next year.”

“I wanted to include and iconic musical moment from the many events which have supported my trust work for young people over all these years. Here is one of the trust’s most faithful supporters, the incomparable Beyoncé with her song ‘Crazy in Love.’”
During Charles’ radio show, he revisited some of the songs from the past and present that have personal meaning to him and shared personal anecdotes and memories he had with artists included such as Diana Ross, Kylie Minogue, Raye, Bob Marley and the Wailers and more.

Prior to the radio show’s release, Charles announced the project and shared the importance of music and how it’s shaped his life.
“Throughout my life music has meant a great deal to me,” the royal said in a video shared on Instagram March 7. “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,” he continued. “It can lift our spirits to such a degree. All the most so when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy.”

“Ameriican Requiem”
Within the first single on Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé lays it all out for her critics, seemingly referencing the backlash she faced after she performed at the CMA Awards in 2016.
“They used to say I spoke, ‘Too country’ / And the rejection came, said I wasn't, 'Country 'nough,'” she sings, “Said I wouldn't saddle up, but / If that ain't country, tell me, what is? / Plant my bare feet on solid ground for years / They don't, don't know how hard I had to fight for this.”
At the time, fans noted that the CMA Awards appeared to take down footage of her surprise performance alongside The Chicks. However, in a statement to E! News, the organization shared they took down a promotional clip instead.

“16 Carriages”
Along with “Texas Hold ‘Em,” the Grammy winner’s song “16 Carriages” was one of the two lead singles to come from her multi-faceted record. In the ballad, Beyoncé seems to sing about working from a young age and focusing on her dreams. After its release, her fans online classified it as one of her most personal songs yet.
“Sixteen carriages drivin’ away / While I watch them ride with my dreams away / To the summer sunset on a holy night / On a long back road, all the tears I find.”

“Protector”
One of her more melodic singles, “Protector” opens up with none other her daughter Rumi asking about a lullaby.
The singer—who is also mom to Rumi’s twin brother Sir and their oldest sibling Blue Ivy—reflects on her role as a mom. “Born to be a protector, mm-hmm / Even though I know someday you're gonna shine on your own.”
“I will be your projector, mm, mm-hmm / An apricot picked right off a given tree,” she notes. “I gave watеr to the soil / And now it feeds me, yeah, yеah (Yeah) / And there you are, shaded underneath it all / I feel proud of who I am /Because you need me.”

“Texas Hold ‘Em”
An instant hit that frankly needs no introduction: The up-tempo single “Texas Hold ‘Em” held onto the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking Beyoncé's ninth solo number one song. Not to mention, her hit also topped the Hot Country Songs chart, making the Destiny’s Child alum the first Black woman with a number one country song in Billboard history.

“Dolly P” & “Jolene”
Not only did the Grammy winner take Dolly Parton’s hit “Jolene” and make it her own: “Jolene, I'm a woman too / Thе games you play are nothing new / So you don't want no hеat with me, Jolene,” but she also recruited the country star for an interlude that tipped its hat at another well-known character: Becky with the good hair.
“Hey miss Honey B, it's Dolly P,” Dolly says, “You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about? / Reminded me of someone I knew back when / Except she has flamin' locks of auburn hair / Bless her heart / Just a hair of a different color but it hurts just the same.”
Though Beyoncé made it clear that her take is more of a stern warning: “But you don't want this smoke, so shoot your shot with someone else (You heard me).”

“II Most Wanted”
The now Grammy-nominated collaboration with Miley Cyrus remains a favorite of fans, with the duo’s lyrics about being a “shotgun rider” becoming a standout instantly. Last June, the Hannah Montana star reflected on the writing process, sharing that she penned the song years before Beyoncé reached out about Cowboy Carter.
"I told her, 'We don’t have to get country; we are country,'” Miley told W Magazine. “'We’ve been country. You know, between you being from Texas and me being from Tennessee, so much of us is going to be in this song.(add single quotation) Getting to write a song, not just sing, for Beyonce was a dream come true."
Together on the track, they sing their notable chorus, “I'll be your shotgun rider 'til the day I die / Smoke out the window flyin' down the 405/ And I'll be your backseat baby / Drivin' you crazy anytime you like.”

“Sweet Honey Buckin'”
On this track, the 32-time Grammy winner made note of one snub that stood out noticeably during the 2024 Grammys: Her not winning Album of the Year for Renaissance.
In fact, when her husband Jay-Z took the stage that night, he couldn’t help but call it out then and there—a moment that she doesn’t hesitate to highlight.
“A-O-T-Y, I ain't win (Let's go) / I ain't stuntin' 'bout them,” she sings, “Take that s--t on the chin/ Come back and f--k up the pen (Yeah).”

“Levii's Jeans”
Her sultry collab with Post Malone was not only one of the songs that served to be a match made in heaven (“Boy, I'll let you be my Levi's jeans / So you can hug that ass all day long”)—but the singer would later strip down for a denim-filled campaign that September with the iconic clothing brand.
