Prince Charles’ appearance on radio station Classic FM delighted fans as the royal revealed some personal insights. The Prince of Wales sought to highlight the challenges facing the creative arts industry under the coronavirus lockdown as a major enthusiast himself. ITV News Royal Editor Chris Ship and Producer Lizzie Robinson discussed the revelation that the Duke of Cornwall had been involved in picking some of the music for both Prince William and Prince Harry’s royal weddings, on their Royal Rota podcast.

Mr Ship told listeners: “He likes classical music so much that he’s often suggested pieces of music that certain high profile people, such as his sons, should have at their weddings.”

Ms Robinson said: “He said that he loves suggesting pieces of music and trying to organise music.

“That obviously became very helpful for Prince William to have a father that’s so knowledgeable.”

Mr Ship added: “When you’ve got millions of people around the world watching your wedding, it’s quite good to have some music.”

He continued: “But it wasn’t just William’s wedding back in 2011 at Westminster Abbey.

“It was also Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018, just over two years ago now.

“They just had their anniversary very recently.

“It was Prince Charles who suggested the Kingdom Choir.”

The royal commentator said: “I think a lot of people just presumed it was Meghan that suggested it.

“But Prince Charles has a lot of connections in this sector.

“It was the Kingdom Choir that famously sung ‘Stand by Me’ at the wedding.”
