deployed a special trick to soothe her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry: playing Tina Turner at full volume.Time to Walk series, William revealed that his mother would blast Turner’s “The Best” while driving him and Harry back to boarding school.

She insisted they be put in school at a young age instead of being taught by a governess.

The thing we don't always realize is that on any given day... we can put on a song like this and let it wash away our angst and replace it with an ocean of nerdy can do optimism. Do it in such a way that we look back on that moment with incredible gratitude that we took the time.
