The royal family’s official Twitter account shared a video of the performance, with the caption: “Can you guess this tune? #FridayFeeling Beautiful played by @TheRLCBand during Changing the Guard at #BuckinghamPalace.”
Royal fans took to Twitter to express their joy upon hearing the popular song, with many speculating that the Queen was in fact, a fan of ABBA.
One Twitter user wrote: “I’ve heard that Dancing Queen is one of The Queen’s favourite pop songs. I’d love to know if it’s true… I hope so.”
Another added: “That’s fantastic! Dancing Queen. Brilliant!”
BBC Radio DJ Chris Evans confirmed the Queen’s love for the ABBA track, saying that she told guests how much she enjoyed the song during a dinner event at Windsor Castle.
The Queen’s cousin, Lady Elizabeth Anson, revealed Her Majesty’s favourite tunes, in the BBC documentary, Our Queen: 90 Musical Years.
She is also known to be a “fantastic dancer” and has “great rythm”, Lady Elizabeth revealed, as she spoke about Her Majesty’s love for music.
Lady Elizabeth Anson said: “The Queen loves the theatre and musicals like Showboat, Oklahoma! and Annie Get Your Gun. These were the tunes that remained in one’s head and were very danceable to.
“The Queen is a fantastic dancer. She’s got great rhythm.
“We did a lot of singing at Kensington Palace. Nobody thought it was odd after dinner if we put on a record and all sang Doing the Lambeth Walk, so music has always been part of her life.”
The Queen’s top ten favourite songs are said to include – Cheek to Cheek by Fred Astaire, Sing by Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band featuring the Military Wives, Oklahoma! by Howard Keel and Anything You Can Do (Annie Get Your Gun) by Dolores Gray and Bill Johnson.
However, a Royal expert has claimed the Queen was even a fan of earlier disco hits.
Ingrid Seward, the author of “My Husband And I”, which is based on the Queen’s relationship with Prince Philip, revealed her favourite tune was the Beach Boys’ California Girls.
She previously told Vogue: “The Queen is a big fan of musicals, traditional hymns, and Scottish ballads, and even the Beach Boys’ songs, especially California Girls.
“Whether or not she has much time to listen to music on her iPod I am not sure, but I rather doubt it.”
