Prince William [2] just shared a special memory of his late mother, Princess Diana [3], that'll make you go, "Aww!" In an episode of Apple Fitness+'s Time to Walk series, which airs on 6 Dec., William shared Diana's favourite song to sing [4] in the car as a way to calm his anxieties on the way to boarding school, according to People. "One of the songs I massively remember and has stuck with me all this time, and I still, to this day, still quite enjoy secretly, is Tina Turner's 'The Best' because sitting in the backseat, singing away, it felt like a real family moment . . . we'd even get the policeman in the car, he'd be occasionally singing along, as well," he said. "When I listen to it now, it takes me back to those car rides and brings back lots of memories of my mother," he added.

Now, William is busy creating special moments with his own children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. "Most mornings there's a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played in the morning," he said. "And I have to, now, basically prioritise that one day someone does this one, and another day it's someone else's turn. So George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the, the clamour for the music." One tune Charlotte and George both agree on? Shakira [5]'s "Waka Waka". Who knew the royals had such vast music taste?
