The music that Prince William considers to be his favorite Christmas song is rather different from what you may anticipate. Over the course of a joyous conversation with young patients at the Royal Marsden Hospital, where he has served as President since 2007, the Prince of Wales made the unexpected disclosure.
When questioned by presenter Barry Alston about his favorite Christmas music, Prince William said, "For this particular chat with you Barry, I'm going to say Feliz Navidad is my favorite Christmas song because it's a bit different."
Prince William was responding to the question about his favorite Christmas song. He went on to remark, "I could say Mariah Carey, who I love dearly as well."
Even though there are certainly a lot of other options, he went with Feliz Navidad because it's a "little bit more amusing."
According to The Mirror, Prince William has impressed his followers with his linguistic abilities, so showing an astonishing skill that he has been keeping concealed for languages. It is said that the Prince of Wales is proficient in French, German, Spanish, and even Swahili, which he taught himself when he was attending university.
In his gap year, he spent time in Chile with Raleigh International, where he participated in the construction of houses and provided assistance to local people. It is possible that his Spanish abilities were improved further at this time.
But language abilities weren't the only surprise from the Prince's recent visit on a show, as he also expressed his fondness for the Christmas comedy "Elf", admitting, "I would have to say, probably Elf. It's very funny and I keep watching it every Christmas and it still makes me laugh."
Prince William described family board game nights with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, highlighting Monopoly and Risk as some of the most popular games in the home, in addition to his favorite films.
"We are playing board games with the children quite a lot," he said, describing the competitive atmosphere that these games inspire in the players, per OK! Magazine.
Prince William described Risk as a brilliant game. According to him, Risk is a fantastic board game that can linger for hours and frustrates players who become "very cross" when they lose. Even so, he took pleasure in playing it.
Prince William's recent comments about his favorite Christmas song and family traditions have sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with fans expressing their surprise and admiration for the royal's personality.
On X, many were impressed by his choice of "Feliz Navidad," with one fan writing, "I love that Prince William chose 'Feliz Navidad'! So relatable and fun, just like him!" Others were amazed to learn that he speaks Spanish, saying, "Wow, Prince William speaks Spanish? I'm impressed! Didn't expect that Christmas song choice either!" Fans also applauded his fun and lighthearted song choice, with a follower commenting, "Prince William's choice of 'Feliz Navidad' is exactly what Christmas should be—fun and lighthearted!"
Some followers marveled at the Prince's multilingual abilities, writing, "Is there anything Prince William can't do? Multilingual and loves 'Feliz Navidad.' What a guy!" Meanwhile, another follower expressed a desire to play board games with the Prince, humorously noting, "Monopoly with the royal family sounds like chaos! #FamilyFun." Finally, a fan appreciated the royal's down-to-earth nature, stating, "I love how down-to-earth Prince William is. It's great to hear about his family's traditions. #RoyalFamily."
