Three cheers for the indomitable DAME HELEN, from her raunchy jokes about Colin Firth to her dislike of leery, pervy Alfred Hitchcock when she was a young whippersnapper on his casting couch. To paraphrase the great Genevan philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, she is quite simply boss as fuck.
In a new interview with Woman & Home, Mirren discussed being a “grumpy anti-monarchist” when she was younger: “It’s the sense of privilege that goes with the aristocracy that I struggle with. I can’t help my working class roots and on that score, the fact that the aristocracy haven’t got there through hard work is a structure that is annoying to me. But the monarchy on its own, I’m okay with that.” But she loves the Windsor clan now: “My hope for the future is to see Charles become king one day. I would like to see him come to the throne in my lifetime. He will make a very good monarch. If you have a good and sensible person in that role, It’s a good thing.”
