Dame Helen Mirren won an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II in the 2006 film "The Queen." But if she were really a royal, the actress says that she would have "a glass of Champagne while sitting on the throne."
Mirren talked about the both the Queen and her upcoming Diamond Jubilee celebration in the new issue of the UK's Woman & Home magazine.

"I couldn't handle the rules the Queen has to live by at all and very few of us could. It's a golden cage really. You're never alone in that role – you are always surrounded by security," she said.
