Prince William opened up about the effect Tina Turner's music had throughout his childhood, and how many of her songs remind him of his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales
Prince William paid a touching tribute to music icon Tina Turner with revelations about the effect her music had throughout his childhood.
He said he regularly listened to her extensive discography, and even has an emotional link to some of the hit-maker's tracks, as they help him remember his mother, Princess Diana, who tragically died at just 36-years-old in 1997 when the prince was 15. He said: "When I was younger, Harry and I, we were at boarding school. And my mother used to play all sorts of songs to kind of while away the anxiety of going back to school.
The future King said the family would listen and sing along to the music the entire journey back to school, until the young princes were dropped off.
