Brothers Prince George and Prince Louis have very different tastes in music
Prince George and Prince Louis are into very different types of music it has been revealed by their father, with George still into hard rock while his brother has softer tastes.
Speaking at the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony in Singapore in November, Prince William said to performers after the show that his elder son's tastes have not changed, with the 10-year-old still loving AC/DC. The father-of-three, 41, was talking to American pop stars OneRepublic backstage at the bash after they were the opening act at The Theatre at Mediacorp.
The Prince of Wales said: "I can’t thank you enough. You were amazing. What a way to start the show. That was incredible. Louis, my youngest, loves your songs," but said Prince George, 10, is still into rock music. The Prince had revealed during the summer that his oldest son loves the veteran Australian rockers, as well as British legends Led Zeppelin.
OneRepublic had performed their hits Counting Stars and I Ain't Worried, while British band Bastille and English singer-songwriter Freya Ridings closed the ceremony. William told Bastille that their performance of Pompeii to close the show – about the disaster that destroyed the Roman city when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD – had a stunning effect on those around him in the audience.
According to Hello!, he said: "You guys blew it away. Honestly, it was incredibly moving, it was very powerful and I didn't want it to stop. And everyone in front of me was crying. I mean, I didn't see behind me but there were tears everywhere. It was so powerful and a great way to finish the show. So thank you so much."

William was on a four-day solo visit to Singapore in support of his Earthshot Prize, which he first launched in 2020. The Princess of Wales stayed in the UK to support eldest son George in his first major school tests – thought to be entrance exams for his future education. The royal couple last visited the south-east Asian country in 2012 during a Diamond Jubilee tour with Kate.
And while speaking at the United for Wildlife Global Summit just a day before the concert, William had revealed that his wife Kate's absence was down to her taking on the important motherly role, saying: "I'm delighted to be back in Singapore. It has been 11 years since Catherine and I enjoyed a memorable visit here on behalf of my late grandmother in her Diamond Jubilee Year.
"And I should mention that Catherine is very sorry she can't be here… she is helping George through his first set of major exams. The focus of my visit this week is how we collectively overcome our planet's greatest environmental challenges. Like all initiatives created through the Royal Foundation, United for Wildlife and The Earthshot Prize are underpinned by finding innovative solutions to some of the world's most pressing issues."
He said that Singapore was an ideal place to host discussions on protecting wildlife because it is a hub for innovators and entrepreneurs. The summit looks at how to protect nature from criminals who illegally trade in wildlife. He told the gathering: "The criminals that trade rhino horn, tiger paws and pangolin scales are part of the same highly organised gangs that traffic drugs, arms and people. This criminal convergence makes the illegal wildlife trade as much a human crisis as an environmental one. The families of more than 1,500 rangers, including over 600 in Asia, who have died in the line of duty need no reminding of that."
