Princess Kate – Princess Catherine of Wales, visiting the Christie NHS Foundation Trust on June 4, described the daily challenge of getting Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to agree on music for their school run—revealing just how quickly different tastes ca
When Princess Catherine of Wales stepped out on June 4 for a visit to the Christie NHS Foundation Trust. she didn’t just talk about work and responsibilities. She also brought something far more familiar into the conversation: the sound of three royal children who can’t agree on what should play in the car.
During the visit, the Princess of Wales said it was “difficult” to keep Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis on the same page about the soundtrack for their morning commute. Her point was simple and telling: “everyone wants different things.”
“We do this on the school run in the morning, everyone wants different songs,” the princess said. “Charlotte wants Taylor Swift, George wants some rock. He loves some AC/DC… He plays the guitar. And then Louis wants Alex Warren.”
“Everyone’s wanting a different thing,” she added—an offhand moment that landed like a quiet admission that even in a busy royal household, mornings still come with negotiations.
The music preferences she described have a wider echo in the family’s recent public timeline. According to People, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have all attended Lambrook School in Windsor since 2022. Prince George is set to age out of prep school when he turns 13 later this summer.
The same Taylor Swift thread has also appeared in Prince William’s remarks about another royal hope—this time not about car rides. but about a wedding invite. In a May 22 appearance on U.K. radio show “Heart Breakfast. ” the Prince of Wales said he was holding out “hope” for an invitation to Taylor Swift’s nuptials.
“No comment,” Prince William joked, smiling. “Exactly, I will be careful. That feels like a showbiz excuse but it’s not.” He added, “I’m hoping and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see, we’ll see,” before letting the moment hang.
William’s comment arrived nearly two years after he and Princess Charlotte were seen dancing along to Swift’s “Shake It Off” during the first night of the Eras Tour stop in London—an experience he described with real warmth. Speaking about the memory, he said, “Charlotte, my daughter, and Louis, to be fair both. Charlotte particularly is obsessed by Taylor Swift. and we went to see her on her Eras Tour. and it was amazing.”.
He recalled watching from a box at Wembley Stadium, explaining that it was “quite a long way from where the actual action’s happening,” but that the atmosphere still hit hard: “the atmosphere was so incredible, you could actually feel the floors shaking when they were all dancing.”
That trip didn’t end at the stage. After watching the show from their box at Wembley Stadium, Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte headed backstage for one-on-one time with the “All Too Well” singer and fiancé Travis Kelce.
Back in the present. Princess Kate’s classroom-to-car update keeps the focus where families often live most of the time—on small. daily friction. The soundtrack debate may last only until the car pulls away. but the details she shared make it clear: in her home. morning logistics can be as lively as any headline.
