One of the country’s best-known sopranos, Lesley Garrett has often sung before the Queen, as well as many other members of the Royal Family. So it’s not surprising the 67-year-old was chosen to sing on the recently-released EIIR: The Platinum Record, A Jubilee Anthem, celebrating the Queen’s remarkable 70-year reign. Woman’s Weekly caught up with Lesley.
You’re singing on A Jubilee Anthem, which is exciting.
Yes, the opportunity came along for me and obviously I jumped at it, out of respect for the Queen and for everything she’s done for our country. Even if you’re not a royalist, and irrespective of what you think of the idea of the Royal Family, everyone acknowledges Her Majesty’s service and devotion to duty. She has worked on behalf of the UK and the Commonwealth for 70 years. I don’t know anyone who has worked that hard. Everyone who has a work ethic must respect that. I’m grateful and honoured to have the chance to say thank you on behalf of us all.
