Sir Rod Stewart’s wife Penny Lancaster paid tribute to Her Majesty the Queen on a recent instalment of Good Morning Britain. The former Loose Women panellist shared anecdotes about King Charles III and the Queen during her appearance on the ITV programme. She also shared a secret with viewers about royal protocol being broken.
Penny was interviewed by broadcaster Susanna Reid about the time she danced with the King for his 60th birthday celebrations.
The 51-year-old told Susanna she ended up dancing with the then prince to Do Ya Think I’m Sexy? by her rocker husband.
Penny also opened up about being anxious about meeting members of the Royal Family.
Susanna said: “You can obviously get overwhelmed with nerves, but actually Her Majesty was not somebody who minded if you didn’t stick to protocol.”
Penny revealed: “Absolutely, she always liked it when something went wrong – any opportunity to have a laugh.”
“She really had a great sense of humour,” Penny added as she remembered the late monarch who died aged 96 last Thursday.
Penny is set to work at the Queen’s funeral as a special constable for the City of London Police on Monday morning.
She said during her recent Good Morning Britain interview: “It was a great privilege to work at the Queen’s memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral.
“I signed the oath of Office of Constable to Her Majesty the Queen just over a year ago, April last year, and just as the seamless tie between Her Majesty and King Charles III, my oath will now be with the King.”
The former model said she’s very proud to be able to serve during such a “historic moment” for the nation.
She gushed: “It’s always an honour and a pleasure and they’re just a family like all other families, but they have this huge responsibility to be the head of state and to do the work that they do for the country of the commonwealth.”
Thousands of people have been lining the streets of central London for days to pay their respect to the Queen whose coffin has been inside Westminster Hall.
