King Charles, who isn’t known as the most laid-back member of the royal family, is putting on display a rare side of him, which the public would not have anticipated from a monarch before.
In a bid to honour his subjects on the annual Commonwealth Day, the King decided to take help of music to mark the key date on the royal calendar.
Buckingham Palace on Monday released a delightful video of the King announcing the release of his playlist, which gives a glimpse into his ‘personal musical taste.

Ahead of the playlist release, the King shared that music has “meant a great deal” to him as 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 to take us to distant places”.
