An organist, conductor and Tiktok star has said she told the Princess Royal to take up the organ and play at Windsor Castle.

Anna Lapwood, who was made an MBE for services to music in the New Year Honours, has been dubbed “the TikTok organist” after videos of her playing attracted 25 million likes.

At an investiture at Windsor on Wednesday, she said she encouraged Anne to play the castle’s organ.

Ms Lapwood said: “I said, ‘Have you ever had a go on the organ?’ and she said: ‘No, I haven’t, I think it’s a bit late.’

“And I was like: ‘Oh, I think you can I think you could do it, you should do it.’”
