The new millennium was also good to Lulu. She was honored as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2000 by the British government. Two years later, Lulu put out a duets album,

Lulu said in 2010 on the Daily Mail's website, "I'm 62 this year and people often ask me how I look so good for my age. I eat well, exercise and I know what looks good on me. I'm a grandmother to Isabella, who was born just after Christmas, which is an absolute joy. I never want to retire."
