"I love her for liking dogs and horses, sometimes it's looked like she was happier being with them than with people, which I understood completely." "I adored her from the first moment I saw her, which was on film when I was seven years old out in Malaysia, where my father was serving with his Gurkha regiment," she said.
She continued:"Then when I finally realised that in my profession, because I'm an actress and because you quite often get to do these things, that I was going to be in one of the line-ups to meet the Queen, your heart starts beating and beating, because you're suddenly going to meet this object, this idol, this figure that you've venerated all your life."The first time she met the Queen was at a private lunch at Buckingham Palace with six or seven other people.
