George and Charlotte argue every morning over music, Prince William reveals

Prince George and Princess Charlotte argue at the start of every day over music, Prince William has revealed.

The Duke of Cambridge, 39, gave listeners in his new Apple+ podcast Time to Walk, an insight into the family's morning routine.

While taking a stroll around the Sandringham estate in Norfolk, he said: "What I've been amazed by is how much my children already have inherited my family's love of music.

"Most mornings there's a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played.

"And I have to, now, basically prioritise that one day someone does this one, and another day it's someone else's turn.

"So, George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the clamour for the music."

He added: "It's a really happy moment where the children just enjoy dancing, messing around, and singing."

The prince has shared his kids' favourite song to listen to.

The future King continued: "One of the songs that the children are loving at the moment is Shakira, Waka Waka. There's a lot of hip movements!"

He said he is also a huge fan of Shakira because of her environmental campaigning and asked the pop star to be a member of his Earthshot Prize Council.

Prince William said at the time: "Shakira was my number one person on the list.

"We tried to get people who genuinely cared for the environment, but were also influences around the world and Shakira has been brilliant at highlighting the plight of the oceans."

Prince William also shared how his children's love of music comes from him.

He revealed his favourite song on Monday mornings is the "head-banging" AC/DC track Thunderstruck.

He said the single, released by the Australian rock band in 1990, is his "best tonic" to begin a new working week.

He said: "There's nothing better than, on a Monday morning, when you're a bit bleary-eyed after the weekend and trying to get yourself back into the grind of the week, listening to AC/DC - Thunderstruck.

"It absolutely wakes you up, puts your week in the best mood possible, and you feel like you can take on anything and anyone."

William added: "I’d imagine you’re going to walk quite fast listening to it, maybe with a skip in your step, with the head-banging. It’s a difficult song not to dance to or to nod along to."

He also said he often listens to Tina Turner's 1989 cover of Bonnie Tyler's The Best.

He added that the song reminds him of a "real family moment" driving to school with his mum Diana and his brother Prince Harry.
