Chan also performed a spoken interlude in Mandarin Chinese on the recording of the 1967 psychedelic song Kites by the British band Simon Dupree and the Big Sound, which reached number 9 on music charts in the United Kingdom in late 1967. According to the later testimony of the group's then-bassist, Peter O'Flaherty, he didn't know the meaning of the Chinese words that Chan was saying, and neither did she.[6]
Popular culture
In the Netflix series The Crown, Chan is played by Chinese-born British actress Alice Hewkin.[7] In the series, Chan is depicted having a brief sexual relationship with Antony Armstrong-Jones before his marriage to Princess Margaret.[4] Her portrayal in the series has led to criticism, with some alleging her appearance played into orientalist stereotypes.[8]
