Exactly. He is an accomplished jazz musician & composer with his own band and used to play with the Greats of Jazz, such as Goodman or Hampton. It's more than a hobby so many people call him the "Jazz King"

Guillaume plays the guitar too and he sings ;)
I'm curious how he looks when he do this...
 
Prince Charles plays the cello and is known to be the musically gifted on in his family.

yes you are quite right.......i seem to remember prince charles playing the cello in a scene from "the royal family" film (1969) when a string snapped and hit prince edward !!
 
Crown Prince Naruhito of Japan plays a viola.
 
The princesses Amalia and Alexia of the Netherlands take violin lessons and Pieter van Vollenhoven plays the piano. He used to sing in a band as well.

I don't know more Dutch royals playing a musical instrument, but I do know Queen Beatrix and her sisters Margriet and Christina enjoy singing. Christina is a classically trained singer and she performed at several royal events. In the 80's, Beatrix and Margriet actually recorded a song together with their husbands.
YouTube - Beatrix Claus Pieter en Margriet Beatbiet melodie
 
Princess Martha-Louise of Norway sings. There's at least 1 youtube clip I've seen her singing. Also, didn't the Norwegian crown princely couple sing at CP Victoria's wedding a couple of weeks ago.
 
Has any royal ever played in an orchestra, a rock band or performed at a charity concert? Or what about making an album. Has any royalty ever won an music award for their performances or music? What about singing their national athem at a sporting event or other event?
 
Queen Elisabeth of Belgium (the grandmother of the present King Albert II) played the violin; her teachers were the famous Belgian violinist and her friend Eugène Ysaÿe, and Ysaÿe's wife after his death in 1931.
 
Princess Märtha Louise playing piano when she was younger. I don't know if she still does.

I think Crown Prince Naruhito has played in an orchestra.
