It closed yesterday’s extended World At One on BBC Radio 4.
Jenkins, who performed at the Queen’s 90th and at her Platinum Jubilee, had a silent prayer before “singing from the heart”.
Speaking yesterday, she said: “I have only the fondest memories of singing the national anthem for Her Majesty the Queen.
“While my heart is heavy with grief, singing this today for the first time is a huge honour.
“It was sung with the belief that King Charles III’s reign will be happy and glorious.”
