Sir Elton John has opened up about the British royal family and his close bond with them, revealing he has danced with Queen Elizabeth Ii and Princess Anne, even took Princess Margaret out on a date.

The star has long been a favoured pop star in the royal household and has performed at many high-profile events, including the Queen's Diamond Jubilee concert in 2012 and Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.

Now he has spoken out about his ties to the British Establishment and recalled how the monarch once cut in on his dance with her daughter at Prince Andrew's 21st birthday party in 1981.  He tells U.K. talk show host Graham Norton, "Princess Margaret and I became friends. I took her to the cinema once at the Odeon Kensington. We had a lovely time and then we went out to dinner and I took her home. Nothing happened of course! "I also once danced with Princess Anne at Prince Andrew's 21st birthday and the Queen came over and said, 'May I join you?'.
