Princess Diana loved listening to Tina’s songs

In a December 2021 episode of Apple Fitness+’s Time to Walk series, Prince William revealed that his mom would enjoy playing the track while dropping him and Harry off at their boarding school.

The prince, 40, said,

“One of the songs I massively remember and has stuck with me all this time, and I still, to this day, still quite enjoy secretly, is Tina Turner’s ‘The Best’ because sitting in the backseat, singing away, it felt like a real family moment,”

He added,

“And my mother, she’d be driving along, singing at the top of her voice.”

William who was only 15 when his mom passed away in a tragic car crash, said,

“We’d even get the policeman [security] in the car: he’d occasionally be singing along as well. We’d be singing and listening to the music right the way up to the gates at school where they dropped you off.”
“When I listen to it now, it takes me back to those car rides and brings back lots of memories of my mother,”

Many fans and A-listers like Mick Jagger, Cher, Oprah Winfrey, Beyonce, and shared their memories with Turner on social media.
