[queen elizabeth] at the james bond premiere

We speak and write of Tony Blair a lot but what about the leader herself? Where is she this evening? Playing with the corgis? She’s at the world premiere of Casino Royale at Leicester Square, accompanied by Prince Philip, despite her chronic sciatica. She’s been forced to cancel a number of official engagements because of her suffering but the queen is an avid 007 fan and was determined to attend the much-anticipated premiere. Oh and tomorrow she’ll open parliament, incidentally, if she wakes up in time.

Just in case you need that in German: Bond- Weltpremiere: Selbst die Queen wollte 007 sehen. Wenn James Bond ruft, lassen sich die Stars nicht lange bitten. Zur Weltpremiere des neuen Films "Casino Royale" in London pilgerten am Abend nicht nur Schauspieler und Fans, auch die Königin wagte sich auf den Roten Teppich - dabei hatte Prinz Charles doch Geburtstag. So there.
