King Charles III Congratulates ‘Incomparable’ Beyonce on Winning Her First Album of the Year Grammy



The 76-year-old British monarch identified Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love” as one of his preferred tracks during his Apple Music 1 radio special, The King’s Music Room, on Monday, March 10, where he also extended his congratulations to the artist for winning her inaugural Album of the Year award at the Grammys held last month.

Beyoncé received this esteemed accolade for her country album, Cowboy Carter, after previously facing defeat four times, including for her highly acclaimed album Lemonade.

While introducing “Crazy In Love” on his special radio program, Charles described Beyoncé, who is 43, as an artist of such remarkable talent that he felt compelled to feature her music. He remarked, “She performed this song during the Prince’s Trust Fashion Rocks concert at the Royal Albert Hall back in 2003. I aimed to highlight an unforgettable musical moment from the numerous events that have supported my Trust’s initiatives over the years.”


As the song began to play, he lauded the “incomparable” artist and expressed his congratulations for earning her first Grammy for Album of the Year. In concluding the Monday broadcast, Charles also honored Diana Ross, a significant musical influence for Beyoncé. He played Ross’ 1980 classic, “Upside Down,” commenting, “This final track is one of my personal favorites. When I was younger, it was simply impossible not to dance whenever it came on.”

In his Apple Music 1 radio presentation, Charles also included songs by Bob Marley & The Wailers, Kylie Minogue, Grace Jones, and Michael Bublé, alongside contemporary artists such as Raye and Davido. Following the play of “Could You Be Loved,” he mentioned, “Bob Marley would have turned 80 this year. I remember attending one of his performances in London when I was much younger, and I had the chance to meet him at an event… he possessed that wonderful, infectious energy, as well as a profound sincerity and a genuine concern for his community.”

To commemorate Commonwealth Day on March 10, Charles shared his carefully crafted personal playlist with Apple Music. In a video message released on Friday, March 7, he stated, “Music has held significant meaning throughout my life, a sentiment shared by many others as well.”

He continued, “It possesses the extraordinary ability to evoke joyful memories from deep within our past, to offer solace in moments of sorrow, and to transport us to far-off places. But most importantly, it can elevate our spirits immensely, especially when it unites us in a celebration. In essence, it brings us joy.”
