King Charles has shared a personal playlist featuring a diverse mix of music, ranging from reggae and Afrobeats to contemporary pop. His selection includes legendary artists like Bob Marley, Kylie Minogue, and Grace Jones, as well as Nigerian-American singer-songwriter Davido and Brit Award winner Raye. The playlist will be showcased on an Apple Music radio show, ‘The King’s Music Room,’ recorded at Buckingham Palace.

In the broadcast, the King will reflect on the significance of music in his life, recalling personal anecdotes about meeting some of the featured artists. He emphasizes how music has the power to evoke cherished memories, offer comfort during difficult times, and bring people together in joy and celebration.

Apple Music describes Charles as a fan of ‘1930s crooners,’ adding another layer to his eclectic taste. The program, airing on Commonwealth Day (March 10), is a one-time special celebrating the unifying nature of music. A newly released photo captures the King at his desk with an ‘On Air’ sign during the recording.

The royal family’s musical interests have been shared in the past, with Charles previously expressing appreciation for artists like The Three Degrees and Diana Ross, while the late Queen enjoyed classic show tunes.
