Myleene Klass has opened up about her several encounters with King Charles, revealing some amusing behind-the-scenes moments from occasions when she performed for the monarch, including a memorable visit to his residence in Scotland.

The singer and Loose Women panellist was awarded an MBE by King Charles last year in recognition of her contributions to women’s health and charitable work. However, her relationship with the royal has involved several encounters over the years, as she has performed for him on multiple occasions.

Speaking on the podcast, hosted by Vanessa Feltz, Myleene jokingly suggested that her frequent appearances during one particular period may have tested the King’s patience.

“There was definitely a two-month period where I’m sure he was rolling his eyes, like ‘Her again’,” she recalled.

The former Hearsay star also spoke warmly about the monarch, describing him as an interesting personality and highlighting his passion for music.

According to Myleene, King Charles is an accomplished cellist, something she finds particularly fascinating. She explained that she had been invited to perform for him several times, including at one of his royal residences.

“He’s a cellist, he’s an amazing cellist, I find him fascinating. There’s been a few times that I have performed for him, like at his castle, that’s such a surreal line [to say],” she told Vanessa.

Among the experiences she remembered most clearly was an invitation to perform at the King’s Dumfries House in Scotland. Myleene travelled there to play the harp for the monarch, describing the visit as an unusual but memorable experience.

Recalling the occasion, she said she had the opportunity to see King Charles moving around the gardens of the property.

“I went up to Scotland and they asked me to play the harp for him at his Dumfries house and you just sort of see him roaming around the gardens and why wouldn’t you?” she said.

However, the visit also left her with an amusing memory involving the historic furnishings inside the residence.

Myleene explained that she had used one of the bedrooms to prepare for her performance. Seeing the impressive Chippendale furniture, she placed her belongings on a bed while getting ready, apparently unaware that the valuable furnishings required special care.

She recalled spreading her things across the bed before a member of staff entered the room and politely warned her against placing anything on it.

“It’s his house but it just feels so surreal and they’ve got these Chippendale beds, which I put all my stuff out on, and I thought oh you know I’ll get ready in this room and then somebody popped in and said, ‘Don’t put anything on the bed’,” she explained.

Myleene appeared to suggest that the warning was intended to protect the expensive and delicate furniture from potential damage.

Her recollection offered a light-hearted glimpse into her experiences performing for the royal family, showing how even an invitation to a royal residence can come with unexpected moments.

Despite joking that King Charles may have wondered when he would see her again, Myleene spoke with admiration about the monarch and his interest in music. Her stories also highlighted the unusual experiences she has enjoyed through her performances and charitable work.
