TLDR : Answer Summary
When applying for a Visitor visa to the UK, travel insurance is not a strict requirement; however, it is considered a good practice to have it. Although there may not be a face-to-face interview, the embassy could conduct a phone interview for verification purposes. It is advisable to keep in mind that some individuals have successfully applied without travel insurance.

It's a good idea to have travel insurance but it's not required for a Visitor visa. There is no face to face interview, but they may phone her to check details of the application.
