Charlotte Church has apologised for making potentially offensive remarks about the Queen.
The singer said in an interview for February's Esquire magazine that the Queen "has no idea what is going on" and is "an old woman".
In a statement, the 24-year-old said today: "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."
She added: "My only defence is that I never expected a respected publication to sensationalise my words out of context like this."
