THE Queen loves show tunes, according to a singer who once performed for her.
And apparently, there’s one musical that she’s a particular fan of.
PEOPLE reports that US-based tenor Andrew McNeil revealed the monarch‘s musical taste after he was asked to sing for her at an intimate dinner.
When he was invited to the event by US ambassador Robert Johnson, he asked Buckingham Palace for an idea of what she might like to hear.
Mr McNeil said: “We reached out to the Palace for her musical tastes, and her lady-in-waiting informed us she loves show tunes.
“Especially show tunes from Oklahoma!”
At the event, Andrew is said to have performed tracks including Oh, What A Beautiful Mornin’ and It Had To Be You – both from Oklahoma!.
He added: “She’s a great lover of music. She mentioned how she wished more singable songs were written today.
“The kind of tunes you can hum along to.”
The singer went on to praise the 93-year-old for being “human and warm”.
He said: “She was lovely and radiant.
“She is an itty bitty thing, but she does not come off as itty bitty. She has such grace and strength.”
In more royal news, Serena Williams has praised her “great friend” Meghan Markle who she credits for being “positive no matter what”.
Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall’s mischievous daughter Mia was the star of show at a celebrity golf tournament.
And the Queen NEVER reveals her favourite meal to avoid getting served it constantly, claims a royal expert.
