Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins has revealed how Queen Elizabeth II once saved her from a disastrous dinner 'faux pas' at an intimate lunch at Buckingham Palace. The 42-year-old discussed the incident on This Morning with Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, following a discussion about how she was asked to sing the first official rendition of the new national anthem.
Appearing on the ITV show on Thursday, September 15, Phillip said to Katherine: "[The Queen] did help you didn't she? She helped you with a potential dinner faux pas?" to which she replied: "Yes. When I was in my mid-20s I got invited to a small lunch at Buckingham Palace. They brought round a course that I didn't really understand, with a water bowl and a piece of fruit and I was thinking, "Oh no this is a disaster!"
Making Phillip and Holly chuckle, the singer continued: I took a piece of fruit and held it in my hand. Her Majesty sensed that and in a maternal way, she was sort of like, "Follow me." You had to take the fruit and wash it in the water bowl and dry it with the gauze."
