The King has reportedly requested Barbra Streisand<\/a> perform at his eventual funeral. A place insider told #ShuterScoop<\/a>\u00a0that the \u201crequest is real. He\u2019s always adored her \u2014 and this would be a deeply personal farewell.\u201d<\/p>\n Related:\u00a0<\/strong>Here\u2019s what each royal inherited from Queen Elizabeth<\/a><\/p>\n Streisand writes about their connection in her memoir, \u201cMy Name Is Barbra.\u201d The two reportedly first met when King Charles visited Los Angeles in 1974 and stopped for a visit at Warner Bros. Studios, where Streisand was recording music for Funny Lady.<\/p>\n \u201cThe prince was utterly charming when he came to the studio, but frankly, it\u2019s hard to have a real conversation when you\u2019re surrounded by fifty photographers snapping pictures,\u201d Streisand wrote in her memoir. \u201cI was drinking tea and offered him a sip\u2026 and the future king of England actually drank from my cup, which was apparently unprecedented. When the British press reported on this, they turned it into the equivalent of an international incident.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the singer, King Charles asked her what kind of tea she was drinking, and she told him it was Constant Comment. She also wrote, \u201cI couldn\u2019t think of anything else to say, and I\u2019m so work oriented that I was feeling guilty about all those musicians who were waiting for me to get on with the session. So I\u2019m afraid I wasn\u2019t as gracious as I should have been.\u201d<\/p>\n My Name Is Barbra<\/p>\n On Sale 53% off<\/p>\n \u201cThe fact is, both Prince Charles and I are shy, but somehow we still managed to connect\u2026 because that proved to be the beginning of an unexpected friendship,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n But that\u2019s not all, as apparently Charles\u2019s fascination with Streisand started way before they met. \u201cI was told that Charles has said I was his \u2018only pinup\u2019 (apparently he had a poster of me in his room at Cambridge), and he described me as \u2018devastatingly attractive\u2019 with \u2018great sex appeal.\u2019 Who knew?\u201d Streisand shared in the book.<\/p>\n The singer went on to explain that the two reconnected in 1994 when she played several shows in London, including one benefiting his charity. The pair\u2019s \u201cextraordinary\u201d friendship has lasted \u201cdecades,\u201d with Streisand even visiting the King\u2019s home, Highgrove, in 1995. According to Streisand, the two also regularly exchange birthday cards.<\/p>\n Recent reports about the King\u2019s funeral plans have shed light on where he stands with his youngest son, Prince Harry, after senior aides for the two met in what is considered a first step towards reconciliation. According to The Telegraph<\/a>, the King has factored not only\u00a0Prince Harry<\/a>\u00a0but\u00a0also Meghan Markle<\/a>\u00a0and their two children,\u00a0Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet<\/a>, into the heart of his funeral plans.<\/p>\n The plans even include Prince Harry walking side by side with his brother at the forefront of the processions through the streets of London.<\/p>\n As for Streisand, there is no confirmation as to whether she will perform at the funeral, but considering what Streisand herself has said about their relationship, it\u2019s not a leap to think she will.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors.
