Apple Music’s Latest DJ is … King Charles III

The newest DJ on Apple Music happens to be none other than His Royal Highness King Charles III. However, there won’t be any song requests from him.

Today, it was announced that the unconventional pair will be premiering a special radio program called “The King’s Private Study” – an exclusive broadcast recorded within the confines of Buckingham Palace in the monarch’s private workspace.

In the Music Room of the King, the 76-year-old ruler will personally choose a unique playlist, providing a rare look into King Charles III’s personal connection with music. It appears this event is going to be an enlightening experience: the King plans to share timeless tunes from as early as the 1930s, along with tracks by popular disco divas and reggae legends. So, get ready for a musical voyage that mirrors His Majesty’s distinct musical preferences. Let’s fasten our seatbelts!

Beyond being the King of the United Kingdom, Charles III also serves as monarch and head of state for 14 additional nations that form the Commonwealth realm. This includes countries such as Canada, Australia, and Jamaica. This multinational role is significant, especially in the lead-up to Commonwealth Day on March 10th. Apple Music has announced that their special section, The King’s Music Room, will feature music originating from various Commonwealth nations. The playlist, curated by the DJ-turned-King, is said to be influenced by his diverse global experiences.

For numerous individuals, music holds a profoundly personal and emotional significance. The program is set to offer listeners a glimpse into the British monarchy, one of the world’s most secretive entities, as the King shares amusing stories about his interactions with various artists portrayed, and discloses why these songs have become the soundtrack to his life.

As a music enthusiast myself, I’m thrilled to present my latest project: King Charles III. Music has always held a special place in my heart, and I believe countless others feel the same way. It possesses an extraordinary power to resurrect cherished memories from the furthest corners of our minds, offer solace during difficult times, and transport us to far-off lands. However, what truly sets it apart is its ability to uplift our spirits, especially when we share in the joy of listening together. In essence, music brings us happiness.

Next Monday, March 10, at 1am Eastern Time/ 6am Greenwich Mean Time, the Music Room of the King will debut on Apple Music 1, featuring tunes from music legends like Bob Marley and Grace Jones, alongside modern artists such as Davido and Raye.
