Barbra Streisand brings pampered dogs on stage in Hyde Park and serves them tea

Barbra Streisand is a Woman In Love – with her dogs.

The diva, 77, treated her three pooches to tea with the Queen – well almost – after wheeling them on stage in a pram to show the 65,000 crowd at the Barclaycard British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park.

Despite joking that “they weren’t much into showbusiness,” Miss Scarlet, Miss Violet and Miss Fanny might be the most pampered dogs in the industry – enjoying an audience with Helen Mirren, who once played her Majesty.

They also met Antonio Banderas, Daisy Ridley and Babs superfan, Richard E. Grant in her dressing room after the concert.

An insider said: “Everyone wanted to congratulate Barbra on the show, her dressing room was the hottest ticket in town.”

Miss Scarlet and Miss Violet are clones created from cells of the singer’s late dog, her curly-haired Coton de Tulear, Samantha who died in 2017.

The cloning cost £40,000 per dog. She got Miss Fanny from Samantha’s breeder.

The star even sipped tea from a china cup and saucer during the performance.

She also sang about all her favourite things about England including Cornish pasties and Fortnum & Mason and spoke in a Cockney accent for some of the show, commenting on how good the weather was.

Even the sun realised that no one could rain on Barbra’s parade.
