Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes was told to "be quiet" by Queen Elizabeth II.
The 79-year-old actress met the monarch at a Buckingham Palace reception to mark British book week 15 years ago, and not only did she annoy the Queen with her answers to her questions, she further irritated her by insisting on butting in on a conversation she was having with another guest.
After being asked what she did by the queen, Miriam replied she was the "best reader of stories in the whole world", prompting the monarch to quickly move on to the person next to her, a man who helped dyslexic children.
But the actress was so interested in their conversation, she couldn't help but start to ask questions, prompting the queen to lose patience and tell her to "be quiet".
Miriam reflected to The Times newspaper: "I don't know what possessed me. I behaved in that stupid way that people do when they meet royalty; you lose your marbles. It was a bit pulverising actually."
