Well, even if she hated Craig, she'd still have to go, Queen and country and all. wink.gif

So the poor old thing had to sit through Star Wars ep 1? I can't see the old dear having enjoyed that much.

I wonder what she thinks of the films - she must have seen all of them, pretty much. Did she get a real kick out of attending the premiere of OHMSS? What's her view on the Messervy-Hargreaves conundrum? Inquiring minds are wasting time asking these sorts of questions on the internet.

I don't think anyone enjoyed that film very much. Hope she has a good time anyway

I heard she was supporting Jackman, but watched Layer Cake when Craig was announced and then started supporting him. She's looking forward to the torture scene too!

How well does this speak for the film? I would think HM would be pretty picky about the films she attends.

Well I think it's become tradition that she attends the premieres of the Bond films - one of Britain's most successful exports, both cinematically and generally. Just imagine it would be routine for her to attend, and not one she would become picky about.

Due to unprecedented demand there are no further tickets available for the Royal Premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square or the Simultaneous Screenings at the Odeon West End and Empire cinema. The pre-premiere Cocktail Reception at Penthouse, No.1 Leicester Square has also sold out.


I'm sure this won't be good news to those who continue to throw mud at anything to do with Casino Royale or Craig's tenure as Bond. Obviously people are interested in seeing it and making up their own minds.

The only other premieres attended by Her Majesty were YOLT and DAD. If one hasn't seen any other Bonds then one will be wondering why CR doesn't have the usual stuff set in outer space.

With regards to Messervy/Hargreaves, I wouldn't expect Her Majesty to know who Admiral Hargreaves was, but I'm sure she remembers knighting Sir Miles. However, I may have underestimated Her Majesty. She may be one of the biggest Bond fans in the world, she may even contribute to the CBn forums! It's certainly public knowledge that she has a large collection of Corgis. I wonder if she has the original bronze Corgi Aston Martin (261) from 1965?

It always makes GREAT press to have the queen attend the premier. Almost always a picture of her attending makes into into the papers world-wide....


plus, it's so appropriate for a Bond film....


(One wonders what she thought of DAD...)
