King Charles’s sympathies were revealed: Barbra Streisand, Joan Collins

The not-so-secret star of King Charles has always been Barbra Streisand – and he had long kept her photo in his room at Buckingham Palace.

“Barbra Streisand is my only pinup!” Charles once said, in line with the upcoming biography of The King: The Life of Charles III, which will be released on November 8th.

“People look at me in amazement when I say she is incredibly attractive with a lot of sex appeal,” the king once wrote.

He became fascinated with the star “Yentl” while studying at the University of Cambridge in the late 1960s. While his peers listened to the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, Charles repeatedly played Streisand’s albums,

“Personal Favorite: The soundtrack of the 1968 movie for which she won the Academy Award” Funny Girl, “writes author Christopher Anderson. “He saw it three times. A framed photo of Streisand hung in his rooms in Cambridge, and after graduation, it hung on the wall of his bedroom at Buckingham Palace.

Charles asked to meet Streisand on the set of Columbia Pictures’ sequel Funny Girl, Funny Lady, in 1975. They met and chatted for 15 minutes.

He later wrote in his Naval Journal that he “really wanted to stay and meet her,” but she insisted on going back to work, writes Andersen.

Charles added, “I still say that after seeing her she has great sex appeal.”

In 1994, Streisand serenaded Charles “Someday My Prince Will Come” at a gala concert at the Wembley Arena in London. Six months later, they met when the Royal arrived in Los Angeles on a five-day visit.

The star secretly visited Charles in his apartment at the Bel Air Hotel. When the news broke, his spokesman sensed that they had just met for “private tea.”

Almost a year later, Streisand flew to London to attend a banquet for one of Charles’ favorite charities, the Architecture Foundation.

Elton John, who was also at a private dinner at Highgrove House, was “surprised” to see Streisand there and was “equally surprised” that, according to the book, both Princess Diana and Camilla Parker-Bowles were absent.

Andersen writes that a member of Highgrove’s staff remembers that they were both “very attached to each other – so much so that when an employee came across a couple in the prince’s office, they were very upset.”

Streisand was not the only celebrity to catch the monarch’s attention.

It was also appreciated by Joan Collins, who danced with the actress “Dynasty” during the royal tour of the United States in 1985.

According to the book, Karol wrote in a letter: “She was very funny and had an incredible cleavage! Everything is raised and presented as if on a tray! “
