Buckingham Palace announced on Friday a collaboration with Apple Music to Mark Commonwealth Day 2025.
A statement said: “The King’s Music Room” is a celebration of the music of the entire Commonwealth chosen by His Majesty the King. “
Recorded at the Buckingham Palace, the King’s Music Room offers an exclusive vision of his Majesty’s relationship with the music of the entire Commonwealth, including artists who extend from singers from 1930 to Afrobeats stars, as well as disco divas and reggae icons.
In his introductory comments for transmission, the king says: “Throughout my life, music has meant a lot to me. I know that is also the case of many others. It has that remarkable ability to bring happy memories that are flooded with the deepest recesses of our memory, to comfort us in times of sadness and take us to distant places. But perhaps, above all, you can lift our spirit in such a degree, and even more when it brings us together in celebration. In other words, it brings us joy. “
The announcement about collaboration left real fans wondering if it involves money.
The statement shared by the Palace or reports in the British media on the agreement did not explicitly mention any financial participation.
The initiative is part of the Commonwealth Day celebrations, and Apple Music is presenting the program on its platform. While some financial agreements have been made, there is no public information available on this aspect.
The royal family is often involved in charitable and cultural initiatives, and this collaboration could be part of such efforts.
