The bronze statue, which was made alongside 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: a similar one of Prince Philip and two Corgies, was 50 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: unveiled at Antrim Castle Gardens in Northern Ireland.

To her Majesty's memory out. I 58 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: think it does bear a Slade resemblance. I think it 59 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 2: could be a better resemblance, you know what I mean. 60 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 2: It's not sort of like the photographs that we normally 61 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 2: see offer, but it's okay. Others have defended it, but 62 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 2: even one of the local counselors agreed with the criticism, 63 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 2: telling the BBC that it does not resemble the Queen 64 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 2: in any shape or form, finishing up with a very 65 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: funny celeb meets royal story for you and Ossie. Actress 66 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 2: Kate Blanchett once revealed the truly odd conversation she had 67 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: with the late Prince Philip.

Meanwhile, I've been invited 71 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: I planned Queen Elizabeth and sitting next to her and 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: I thought, well, maybe she's seen the movie and wants 73 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: to ask me about my interpretation. And I sat next 74 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: to him and I said, who, You're an actor and 75 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: I said, I said yeah, that's why. I said, Well, 76 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 1: I was given a DVD player for Christmas, and I 77 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: can't work out where the report but green the green 78 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: cord on the red record, so I'm really I'm always 79 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: invited me for long time, always speaking player. 80 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 2: Anyway.
