I can’t blame the real QEII for not doing this. If it was only once, yes, she could manage it. But once she did do it, for one kid, then she’d be inundated with other requests, and she’d never be able to do them all. So it has to be a case of everyone or none at all.
And it was lovely of Mirren to do it. Maybe the “real” queen gave her the go ahead, who knows?
Yeah, like she’s got more important stuff to do.
Than visit thousands of dying people every single day? :rolleyes:
Wait… WHAT? HELEN MIRREN ISN’T THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND? WHAT ARE YOU ALL SAYING?
Waaaaaaaaaaaaa :’( :’( :’(
damn allergies.
And THEN there is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZw2Z7LJqxw
I love the Window-washing Superheroes that some Children’s Hospitals have. I got very nervous when I first searched for that and saw a Snopes link, but it turns out that this does really happen at a number of children’s hospitals.
I thought Tim Curry was the “queen of England”? 
You’re thinking of Ian McKellen.
According to Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren is one of the reasons we exist.
Everyone knows Elton John is the Queen of England.
And then there is (unfortunately) this… ‘Barefoot Contessa’ taking heat for repeatedly rejecting ‘Make-A-Wish’ cancer patient.
This is the cue to mention one of my favorite headlines, which appeared in The Sun when Elton John married his long-time companion: “Elton takes David up the aisle” (third one down in the link).
I gotta say that it seriously sucks for the family to complain publicly that some celebrity won’t meet with their kid, sick or not. I suppose that should apply to the Queen too, but I think queens have some public service obligations that the rest of the masses don’t.
…because all she does is sit around all day waiting for someone to peel her a grape. :dubious:
You stopped at one?
That’s your problem right there.
Yeah, if they’re gonna call you that word anyway, you might as well, right?
