King Charles recently revealed he’s a fan of several artists, including Diana Ross, Bob Marley, and, of course, Beyoncé.

During his radio show “The King’s Music Room,” sponsored by Apple Music, His Majesty discussed several songs by different artists, many from within the Commonwealth, that he’s fallen in love with over the years. The most surprising song for some listeners, however, had to be a 2003 hit from Beyoncé, featuring her superstar husband, Jay-Z.

In the first episode of the King’s Apple Music show, the Royal highlighted a playlist of several songs from different musical acts that he’s grown fond of. As he was preparing to end the episode, he told his listeners that he was leaving them “with two final songs,” per Town & Country.

One song was “Upside Down” by Diana Ross, and the other was “Crazy In Love” by Beyoncé. Before playing the 2003 pop hit, which soared to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, King Charles praised the singer and boasted about her “exceptional” talent.

King Charles explained that he has adored Bey’s popular hit since hearing it at the Trust Fashion Rocks concert in the Royal Albert Hall in 2003 before calling her an “incomparable” performer.

Members of the Beyhive caught wind of the King’s statement about Beyoncé.

Online, the singer’s fans found themselves at a crossroads—they agreed with his message about the popstar, but their dislike for him made them reluctant to admit it.

“This guy stinks! But he also has a point,” someone wrote. “Right message, wrong messenger.”

Another agreed and wrote, “Down with dictators and down with the monarchy. Nobody should be venerated just by luck of birth. That being said, he is correct about this.”

A third user shared an image of a satirical article with the headline, “Heartbreaking: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point.”

“Something about a broken clock,” a fourth Beyoncé fan commented.

A fifth user even told the King to “renounce the throne” so that “Queen Bey” could claim her spot on top.

Recently, King Charles made headlines after reports revealed the Royal Family member recently splurged on a $3.8 million home next to Queen Camilla’s vacation property in Wiltshire, England.

The King’s purchase came soon after news that Camilla’s adjacent property, named the “Old Mill,” was set to be converted into a wedding and rental property was shared online.

According to sources, the “commercial use of the property” caused “great anxiety” for King Charles, who worried for Camilla’s safety, considering she uses the place as a getaway during different periods of the year.

“Think of it—dozens of wedding guests carousing every weekend just the other side of her fence,” an insider said.

Another insider shared that now that the property is within the Royal Family, the King plans to lease it to a “security-vetted tenant” who lives in a way that is consistent with royal standards.

Queen Camilla, meanwhile, is reportedly “grateful and relieved” that the “intolerable” situation with her neighbor has been resolved.

“She has her horses, she walks her dogs, and [Camilla] loves spending time with her family,” they said, adding, “This business with her neighbor was frankly the last thing she needed.”

In early February 2025, Beyoncé made history at the Grammys by extending her lead to 35, making her the most-awarded artist in the ceremony’s history. During the night, the singer took home three additional Gramophones for her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter.”

Beyoncé’s wins for “Album of the Year” and “Country Album of the Year” surprised some viewers, considering many believed she was “snubbed” during the Country Music Awards in 2024. Others thought she was undeserving, pointing to other artists in the country category, like Chris Stapleton.

However, days after the 67th Annual Grammy Awards aired on television, the Recording Academy seemingly defended its decision to honor Beyoncé with a surprising comment.

On Instagram, after the singer shared pictures of her new awards, the Academy chimed in and silenced her detractors.

“On behalf of our 13,000 members and Recording Academy staff that listened to ‘COWBOY CARTER’: This ain’t Texas, this is a Best Country Album and Album of the Year GRAMMY winner!” they wrote.

On the weekend of the 2025 Grammy Awards, Beyoncé announced her new set of performances, also known as the “Cowboy Carter Tour.”

The production, which will feature stops in eight cities, including Chicago, New York, London, and Paris, will kick off on April 28th and wrap in mid-July.

“SHE COMING,” the singer captioned an Instagram post about the tour, which excited her over 300 million followers.

“Cowboy hats have already been ordered,” an account replied.
