Conversation with my British niece a few years ago. I defended the monarchy as an institution but suggested the royals should be replaced by actors, and the queen when she’s needed played by the greatest British actress of the day.
H: What, Helen Mirren?
S: She’s a slut! You don’t want to fuck the queen! The other one.
H: Oh. Judi Dench.
S: Yeh.
I didn't think fast enough to suggest Ian McKellen.
Frears' movie had been out for years but I hadn't seen it.
