King Charles was 'obsessed' with Barbra Streisand and gave her 'special gift'

King Charles was once the world's most eligible bachelor - and he had a not-so-secret crush on a Hollywood actress. While studying at Cambridge University in the late 1960s, it's claimed the young Prince became 'obsessed' with Barbra Streisand and said she was his "only pinup".

While his fellow uni students were listening to the likes of Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, Charles spent his days playing Streisand's albums and his personal favourite was the soundtrack from her 1968 movie Funny Girl. "People look at me in amazement when I say she is devastatingly attractive with a great deal of sex appeal," the royal once wrote.
