King Charles shares surprising love of Kylie Minogue song in Commonwealth Day message

King Charles has revealed his love for Kylie Minogue's "The Loco-Motion," describing it as having an "infectious energy" that makes it "incredibly hard to sit still."

In a video posted on the Royal Family’s Instagram ahead of the Commonwealth Day service on Monday (March 10), the King shared his favorite songs by Commonwealth artists as part of ‘The King’s Music Room’ show, created in collaboration with Apple.

Reflecting on Minogue's 2012 performance at St. James's Palace, Charles said, “Kylie Minogue came to St. James's Palace to perform this song in 2012.”

 ”This is music for dancing," he said.

Senior royals and prominent figures will gather at Westminster Abbey on Monday to celebrate the Family of Nations.
