#can we just appreciate the fact that the Queen agreed to be a BOND GIRL just for one night?

What I think is totally awesome is that Daniel Craig said that the Queen was supposed to look up straight away, but she improvised the letter writing and completely blanked him, so the awkward standing there was completely realisitic. The Queen ignored James Bond because she was ACTING.

She ain’t called the Queen for nothing, kids.

I remember watching this live and thinking, ‘that’s not the Queen, no way.’ Then she turned around and HOLY FUCK! THAT’S THE ACTUAL QUEEN! 

And that’s why the 2012 Opening Ceremony will forever be my favourite.

The best thing about this is Danny Boyle approached The Queen about this scene, and he wanted to use an actress.  But, The Queen basically said no – if anyone’s doing it, she is.
