Oliver Burton is ten years old and he’s dying of cancer. His last wish was to meet the Queen, but declined regretfully for unstated reasons. Dame Helen Mirren to the rescue!

She is currently playing the Queen in her West End show “The Audience”, and invited Oliver and his family to come and see the play. Afterwards she brought a corgi and came to talk to Oliver, and enacted a fake knighting.

His father James Browne said: ‘She stayed in character for the whole thing. Oliver thought she was the real Queen, and well, that’s good enough for us.

‘She was really lovely. She did the whole thing - had a butler there, was dressed in costume and did it all properly for him.

‘She sat in Oliver’s wheelchair and gave him her big chair. She had a glass of coke together and biscuits and little sandwiches and they even brought in her corgis from the show, Coco and Roco.

‘She was wonderful and in some of the photos you do a double take because she really does look like the real Queen.

‘She knighted him and told everyone that they had to call him Sir Oliver. He had a brilliant day.

thewomentakeover:

“The best way to encourage women not to judge other women is to encourage and create connections between them. When someone is human and vulnerable, it’s a whole lot harder to make blanket statements and judgments about her. On a larger scale, we need to stop portraying women as catty b*tches out to get each other. If girls grow up seeing complicated, deep relationships between women who are working together instead of against each other in real life and in pop culture, they’re less likely to expect those judgments from other women or to level them themselves.” - Emma Gray
