King Charles III of Great Britain published his playlist on Apple Music. The selection includes songs, some of which may surprise you.
"Throughout my life, music has meant a lot to me. I know this is true for many others as well. It has a wonderful ability to evoke happy memories from the deepest corners of our minds, to comfort us in times of sadness and to transport us to faraway places," the King said a few days ago when he presented his project "The King's Music Room" dedicated to Commonwealth Day.
