“Throughout my life music has meant a great deal to me,” His Majesty King Charles III says. “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.” The King’s Music Room—exclusively on Apple Music—is where you can explore this relationship further. From his desk in his office at Buckingham Palace, His Majesty reveals a selection of his favourite songs—featuring artists stretching from crooners to Afrobeats stars, via disco divas and reggae icons. It’s a musical journey that spans 10 decades and reflects the diversity of the Commonwealth and a personal taste shaped by extraordinary experiences around the world. The King also shares stories about meeting some of these artists and reveals why the songs help form the soundtrack to his life.
