The time a 13-year-old Julie Andrews sang the national anthem for King George VI.  Picture: YouTube / British Pathé By Sian Moore, ClassicFM London   Remembering Julie Andrews’ days as a child star, with the time she sang a typically elegant rendition of the national anthem as King George VI and Queen Elizabeth watched on. Her grace and unique musicality are unmatched to this day. But did you know just how long Dame  Julie Andrews  has been performing under the spotlight?
