Charlotte Church is “deeply sorry” for her derogatory remarks about the Queen in a recent interview – insisting she can’t even remember making the comments. The former classical singer revealed in a recent chat with men’s magazine Esquire that she “felt sorry” for the royal because she is an old woman who has “no idea what’s going on”. She added that she had met the ruler on several occasions, and the 84 year old had never remembered her. The comments hit the headlines this month and Church has now decided to apologise – but insists she didn’t expect the publication to “sensationalise” her remarks. In a statement, she says,
“I am deeply sorry if my comments about Her Majesty the Queen caused offence. I am honoured to have met her and have an enormous amount of respect for her and what she does. After seeing those words in print, I realised how foolish I was to make such flippant remarks to a journalist”.
