THE KING & I

ENTERTAINMENT queen Barbra Streisand is singing in her new memoir about her five-decade friendship with superfan King Charles, who had once reportedly gushed about her great “sex appeal!”

In the 979-page tell-all My Name Is Barbra, the Woman in Love legend, 81, recalls meeting the “utterly charming” monarch at a recording studio in Los Angeles in 1974 when he was Prince of Wales.

However, Barbra bellyaches, “It’s hard to have a real conversation when you’re surrounded by 50 photographers snapping pictures!”

But Babs blabs, “I was drinking tea and offered him a sip, and the future king of England actually drank from my cup, which was apparently unprecedented.

“When the British press reported on this, they turned it into the equivalent of an international incident!”

According to royal expert Christopher Anderson, the smitten prince, now 75, had spent his college days spinning Streisand’s records and called her “devastatingly attractive!”
