Britain’s Prince Charles has ‘no idea’ who Christina Aguilera is.
The 65-year-old royal has never heard of the ‘Candyman’ hitmaker but insists he’s a great fan of classical music and "gently persuaded" his daughter-in-law, Duchess Catherine, on her wedding songs when she married his son Prince William.
The prince spoke about his musical tastes during a tour of Global Radio in London yesterday (11.01.14), which owns stations such as Heart, Capital and Classic FM, with his wife, Duchess Camilla.
During a chat with Heart FM’s Toby Anstis, he asked what music was playing to the listeners, to which he was told they had chosen a track by US superstar Christina, but he looked blank and appeared not to know who she was.
Although he proved he knew his pop history later in the day when he met with Heart presenter Emma Bunton and asked the former Spice Girl about the band – which also featured Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell, Mel B and Mel C.
Emma said: "He is always such a lovely man and it was so nice to see him again. He was asking me about when the Spice Girls were going to reunite.
"That puts a bit of pressure on you! He always asked after the rest of the girls and how they are doing."
Emma’s colleague, Jamie Theakston, added: "I think they were both quite fascinated to see how it all worked behind the scenes. They are clearly great radio listeners."
