Prince George and Prince Louis have very different tastes in music

Royal brothers Prince George and Prince Louis have very different music tastes, their father Prince William has revealed.

Although the pair reportedly get on well and were recently snapped laughing together in a royal photo, it seems they don’t agree on everything. Speaking backstage at the Earthshot Prize awards in November, the future King told pop band OneRepublic that 10-year-old George is still a massive fan of ACDC.

It differs to Kate Middleton and Prince William’s youngest son, five-year-old Louis, who prefers softer tunes and favours six-piece American stars OneRepublic, who played hits including Counting Stars and I Ain't Worried at the climate event.

The Prince of Wales told the band after their performance: "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 is still into rock music. He had revealed during the summer that his oldest son loves the veteran Australian rockers ACDC, as well as British legends Led Zeppelin.

Unfortunately for George, he reportedly couldn’t make the event due to his first major school tests – thought to be entrance exams for his future education. It meant William went through the four-day solo trip to Singapore on his own as Kate remained in England to support their eldest child with his exams.

At the event, William told band Bastille, who also gave a performance, that their rendition of Pompeii to close the show – about the natural disaster that destroyed the city when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79AD – had a notable impact on the audience members around him. He gushed: "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."
