When asked to rhyme off our favourite festive tunes, we often think of classics like ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’, ‘Baby It’s Cold Outside’, and ‘Last Christmas’.
However, Prince William’s go to Christmas tune is a bit more unconventional, as he previously revealed during a charming Christmas interview with youngsters at the Royal Marsden Hospital radio station.
The Prince of Wales, who has served as President of The Royal Marsden since 2007, was quizzed by children sending in their seasonal queries. In response to what his top Christmas song is, the Prince gave an unexpected answer, OK! reports.
Chatting with host Barry Alston, Prince William disclosed: “For this particular chat with you Barry, I’m gonna say ‘Feliz Navidad’ is my favourite Christmas song because it’s a bit different”.
He added: “I could say Mariah Carey, who I love dearly as well. That’s a good one and obviously there are many others, but I think I’ll probably go with ‘Feliz Navidad.’ It’s a bit more jolly.”
This revelation not only surprised listeners but also hinted at an impressive hidden talent of the Prince. Prince William is a linguistic whizz, reportedly fluent in French, German, Welsh, Gaelic, Spanish and even Swahili, which he taught himself during his university years.

His Spanish skills may have been honed during his gap year in Chile, where he participated in the Raleigh International scheme, building houses and aiding communities.
The prince also revealed his favourite Christmas film during an appearance on a show, stating: “I would have to say, probably Elf. It’s very funny and I keep watching it every Christmas and it still makes me laugh.”
He further shared his family’s preferred board game, saying: “We are playing board games with the children quite a lot. We love Monopoly, that’s good and Risk, have you played Risk before?
“That’s a good board game, it goes on for hours and usually everyone gets very cross because they lose. But that’s what I like playing.”
