What do netizens have to say about King Charles's latest collaboration with Apple Music?

The King’s Music Room will reportedly be recorded in King Charles’s office at Buckingham Palace. In the video clip shared by Apple Music, he explains how music has the “remarkable ability to bring happy memories, comfort us in times of sadness, and take us to distant places.”

Some netizens are surprised by the “unexpected collab” and are looking forward to seeing his playlist. They are wondering what kind of songs will be on his playlist and whether it will include Kendrick Lamar’s hit track Not Like Us.

“King Charles with a playlist? That’s gonna be a royal jam session.” An excited user tweeted on X.

“Not like us better be on there” Another user said.

“I'll be listening! So curious to see the playlist.” A third fan wrote.

“OMG I LOVE THIS!!!! King Charles is soo adorable!” A fourth commented.

However, a bunch of users were not intrigued to listen to his playlist.

“Are people interested in Charles favorite music and if so, WHY?!” A user questioned?

“I thought he died?!?!” Another added.

“We would’ve loved this from Diana” One more added.

Rachel Newman, Apple Music’s global head of content and editorial, said in a press release:

“Human curation has always been a key pillar of our unique editorial approach. Apple Music Radio is where culture is happening worldwide, and we are honoured that King Charles III chose to share his personal playlist with us, and with music fans around the world.”

Errollyn Wallen, CBE, Master of The King’s Music Room added:

“You can see His Majesty’s wide-ranging enthusiasm for music in this playlist to mark Commonwealth Day. The Commonwealth has produced more than its fair share of wonderful songs, singers, and musicians, and this fun and eclectic collection is a great reminder of this treasure trove of creativity.”

This is not the first time the royal family has collaborated with Apple. As per a report in People magazine, Prince William previously collaborated with Apple by recording an episode of the Apple Fitness+ podcast Time to Walk, where he shared insights into his family life while walking in Norfolk.
