King Charles III has chosen a playlist featuring tracks by artists including Bob Marley, Grace Jones, Kylie Minogue, and Raye. The “The King’s Music Room” on Apple Music Radio features the monarch discussing songs from around the Commonwealth that have shaped his life, from 1930s standards to disco, reggae, and Afrobeats. The show includes tracks by artists such as Three Degrees, Barbra Streisand, Edith Piaf, Leonard Cohen, and Miriam Makeba, which Charles has cited as favorites in the past.
Recorded in his office at Buckingham Palace, the playlist celebrates Commonwealth Day and includes songs that have brought him joy. A trailer for the show features King Charles introducing the project, with military guardsmen playing Marley’s “Could You Be Loved” in the background. Errollyn Wallen, Master of the King’s Music, praises the diversity of the Commonwealth’s musical offerings, calling it a “great reminder of this treasure trove of creativity.”
