The Queen was easy to deal with. She was very definite about what she wanted and what she didn’t want. She loves Bob Hope and Telly Savalas, so we invited Bob Hope and Telly Savalas - both came - and if I hadn’t kept mixing up Your Highness with Your Majesty (he’s His Highness, she’s Her Majesty) I’d give myself four stars for the way that visit went off.
