To coincide with Commonwealth Day in the UK on March 10th, Charles will launch the first episode of The King’s Music Room on Apple Music. Recorded in Buckingham Palace, the episode promises “exclusive insight into His Majesty King Charles III’s relationship with music from around the Commonwealth — including artists stretching from 1930s crooners to Afrobeats stars, as well as disco divas and reggae icons.”

The King’s Music Room premiere on Apple Music 1 on Monday, March 10th, at 6 a.m. GMT.
