Perhaps he is very busy, or stressed-out? I know that when I am either one of those things my appearance isn't exactly a top priority.

Yes, he does like classical music as well as "contemporary" music (I guess that would be modern music?) :)

Portrait of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg
Guillaume, the heir
Guillaume of Luxembourg was born November 11th, 1981 as oldest of five children of Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. He was followed 1984 by Prince Félix, 1986 by Prince Louis, 1991 by Princess Alexandra and 1992 the youngest Prince Sébastien (here’s a mistake, they wrote Sebastian – that’s the german version of Sébastien).
After the Abitur, which made Guillaume in Switzerland, he began training in September 2001 as an officer at the royal military academy of Sandhurst in Great Britain. Like his parents the young man engages himself for disadvantaged and handicapped people. Since 2000 he is a chairman of the donation „Kraeizbierg“, which uses itself for handicapped ones. Besides he took the presidency in the „Board OF Economic development“ of his father and engages himself in addition for the pathfinder movement of Luxembourg
Sport and music as Hobbies
Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume is a true language talent: Apart from its native language Laetzeburgisch he speaks French, English, German and Spanish. Among his large Hobbies the music ranks. He took some years piano instruction and hears in such a way the monarch not only rock- but also classical music. His spare time spends Guillaume of Luxembourg with the sport. He plays football, tennis, goes swimming, sailing and skiing.

Its odd that this is the first time that it has ever been mentioned that he plays piano. But I have seen an old pic of him playing, so it makes sense.

The violin is the only other one I know about, but there may be others too.

He also plays violin, but his mother plays guitar, so you never know.
