Before Charles met Diana, the future king almost fell under Streisand's pomegranate skirt?

Music legend Barbara Streisand is the best-selling female artist in the history of music in the United States, and the only big star to hold oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, Broadway Tony Awards, Grammy Awards, Cable ACE, Peabody and other entertainment awards at the same time, Streisand once joked about her friendship with Crown Prince Charles, "I almost became the first Jewish princess!" ”

According to reports, in 1974, Crown Prince Charles made a special trip to the set of Columbia Pictures in Hollywood to visit Streisand, who played the heroine of the film. They had coffee together and talked for 20 minutes. Crown Prince Charles later wrote: "I always thought she had a strong attraction to the opposite sex. Streisand once joked that if it weren't for the nervousness of the meeting, she might have been able to beat Diana to become his wife.

Before Charles met Diana, the future king almost fell under Streisand's pomegranate skirt? Crown Prince Charles also recently said publicly that he found Streisand "dazzling" in his youth, that he was captivated by her "dazzling" talent, and that now the legendary singer is giving back praise — and spilling tea on their friendship origin story. Speaking about the "special memories" the Prince of Wales recently shared with The Times of London, Streisand told British host Ross King: "It's so sweet! ”

Streisand responded to rumors that she had been in love with Charles: I almost became the first Jewish princess! The legendary singer confirmed the Crown Prince's claims, recording in Santiago in 1974, when Crown Prince Charles was 26 years old and serving in the Royal Navy. Streisand shared: "He asked to see me, so he came to the studio. And added a trademark quip, "I gave him a sip of coffee, and then I thought, 'Don't they have to test me if I'm poisoned or whatever?' As it turns out, no. Streisand continued: "Since then, we've become friends and I love spending weekend fundraising in High Grove and visiting his garden. ”

Some time later, while staying at a hotel in London, the funny girl star noticed flowers on the table in her assistant's hotel room. Streisand, 79, recalled: "I said, 'Who sent it to me,' and she said, 'A fan named Charles.'" I said, 'Really?' Let me see the note'—and his seal. They don't look like they came from a florist because they come from his garden and look different. "Streisand's assistant" just mistook him for a fan. Streisand added: "It's so much fun! I was thinking, that's Crown Prince Charles! ”

While the singer did notice that her close relationship with Crown Prince Charles, 72, "was before he met Diana," she did add, "When he came to see my show, I had a very interesting line on stage." I said, 'You know, if I had 'dealt the cards' in the right order, I could have been the first Jewish princess!' ’”
