Dame Shirley was made a Companion of Honour in the New Year Honours list for her services to music - and the King complimented her on her outfit at the ceremony
At Windsor Castle, Dame Shirley Bassey was awarded the Companion of Honour by King Charles. However, the iconic singer confessed to a Royal faux pas during the ceremony.
"I think it's more nerve-racking to receive the award from him than to sing in front of him," she admitted. "I mean, it's new, different, whereas singing I've been doing since I was a child. I forgot to curtsy, but that's why I grabbed his hands because I forgot to curtsy. Instinctive". She stated: "I asked him how he was, and he said he was fine and said: 'You look wonderful'. He wished me all the best and then I grabbed him I know I shouldn't have done that. But I grabbed both his hands and said: 'I wish you well'."
