Olivia's royal blunder: Olivia Colman swore when she met Queen Elizabeth

Olivia Colman swore when she met Queen Elizabeth in real life.

The 46-year-old actress portrays the monarch in Netflix's 'The Crown' but admitted she wasn't very regal when she met Queen Elizabeth six years ago at a film bash at Windsor Castle and she even said "f***".

Speaking to The Sunday Mirror newspaper, Olivia explained: "I didn't think she'd be there and suddenly we all ended up in a big queue.

"I thought somebody was using the rooms for the bash and then suddenly we looked down the corridor and went 'oh f***.'

"A man in epaulettes was telling us to do 'just a little bow, don't overdo it'. He sort of shuffled us forwards saying 'Your Majesty, then Your Royal Highness, then keep moving because she has hundreds of people to get through'."
