The mezzo-soprano, who is married to artist and director Andrew Levitas, 45, has been busy of late and recently celebrated her 50th performance with a show at the Royal Albert Hall.
He has performed for the Pope in the past and has also a connection to the royal family.
In September she was selected to record the first version of the new national anthem, God Save the King.
The Welsh opera singer, 42, told Good Morning Britain presenters Susanna Reid and Ben Shepherd that she had actually been recording something for the Queen after receiving the news that Her Majesty had died at the age 96 years old.
‘At first we stopped what we were doing. We had a moment of silence,’ she said.
From a small church in rural Sussex, BBC Radio 4 called Katherine to ask her to close the World at One with God Save the King programme.
Katherine, who was one of the queen’s favorite singers and who has performed for the royal family several times, said she had to “think a lot” about the lyrics, which she changed to reflect King Charles III.
