“THERE’S ONLY ROOM for one queen in this town, and that’s me”.

You could be forgiven for thinking that’s what Dame Helen Mirren told the UK’s Queen Elizabeth at a recent Reception for the Dramatic Arts at Buckingham Palace.

This utterly brilliant photo was snapped as the women met at the royal residence, just 24 hours after Mirren was handed a BAFTA by Prince William.

We’re sure the women were actually having a rather nice conversation, but heaven knows we’ll think twice before messing with the Dame.
