The royals, like no one else, listen to music and sometimes go to a concert of their favorite artist. For example, members of the royal family of Luxembourg recently went on a picnic to Robbie Williams’ party. But did you also know that this 11-year-old princess loves hard rock?
You wouldn’t expect it from a little girl, but Princess Estelle of Sweden is a fan of heavy metal and hard rock. Already at the age of five, the princess was with her parents at a concert of the KISS group. A star was painted across her face just as the lead singer did, along with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel with band members.

Two years later, the princess was found at prom again. This time with the heavy metal band Metallica. This was not quite according to the rules, because children under 13 were not allowed to go to the concert because of the loud noise. Fortunately, Estelle was in a private room where the sound was much quieter and she could still enjoy the music.
But Princess Estelle isn’t the only queen with a penchant for music. We’ve also seen these royals in concert.
Members of the Royal Family of Luxembourg – Robbie Williams
A few weeks ago, Robbie Williams visited Luxembourg on his tour. Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie, Princess Alexandra and her husband Nicholas could not miss this show and decided to look at the concert. Even a meeting with the singer was planned. The photos clearly show that the royal family enjoyed Williams’ music.

The Oranges – Sing along with Sting and Beyoncé
Oranjes can also sometimes be found among the singing crowd at a concert. In 2018, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima attended a concert at a royal venue, the Palace Garden at Soestdijk Palace. Singer Sting sang alongside Shaggy, King Willem-Alexander, and Queen Máxima, just like the rest of the audience.

Our queen also sometimes goes to prom with her daughters. A few years ago, for example, she was with Princess Amalia at a concert by Queen of Pop Beyoncé. The mother and daughter did not have to stand in between the rest of the audience and could enjoy the music from the private VIP lounge at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
Members of the Spanish Royal Family – Fans of Harry
Like almost all little girls, Princess Leonor and Princess Sofia of Spain are huge fans of Harry Styles’ music. The two sisters had already gone to a concert by the British singer last year, and this year they did not miss the show and happily sang along with his music again. Queen Letizia also attended the parade in 2022, but this year she stayed at home and both princesses were in attendance.

The Norwegian Royal Family – Visiting Rihanna
The Norwegian royals also enjoy a concert from time to time. In 2011, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit were in Oslo at a performance by Rihanna’s pop.

Concerto for Diana
Not only is going to prom, but organizing a prom is also something that members of the royal family do. In 2007, British Princes William and Harry organized a private concert for their mother, Princess Diana. On her 46th birthday, William and Harry invited several entertainers to raise money for Diana’s charities. Many artists have sung it, including Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, and Kanye West. Among those in attendance was the future Princess of Wales, Catherine, William’s girlfriend at the time.
