Kristin Scott Thomas received damehood at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. Dame Thomas is set to take over the role of Queen Elizabeth in the production The Audience from Dame Helen Mirren in April. The Queen warned her that it will be a “challenge” to play her.
Attending as the honorary president of the film academy, Prince William walked the red carpet at yesterday evening’s BAFTA awards. He presented an award to Dame Helen Mirren, who has portrayed his grandmother in film as well as on stage, and even joked that he should probably call her “granny”.
