Please excuse me, I have a tear because I see my mum, my dad, the whole family again. I am the eldest of 14 children, I am very proud. My mum is liked to say: ‘A family without children is like a garden without flowers.’ I was very proud with my sisters. First there were girls, then boys. I’m really very moved to see this again. However, I know them, these images! But it’s still very moving.“, confided a heartbreaking Mireille Mathieu.
The 76-year-old artist, who can be proud of having met Queen Elizabeth II three times, also told Michel Drucker: “My life is a fairy tale, it’s true. And in fairy tales there is always a queen. So when I was told I was going to sing in front of the Queen of England, it was terrible, I couldn’t sleep at night, I said to myself: ‘What am I going to do, she’s a real queen! ‘”.
