Actress-model Sharon Stone was so star-struck after meeting Queen Elizabeth II that she became speechless.
The 55-year-old gave up a planned vacation in Israel with her eldest son to attend a polo match in Windsor, England and sit in the Queen's box, reports contactmusic.com.
"I was so tongue-tied that once I finally managed to choke out, 'Your Majesty...' I realised I was actually looking at the Queen... and she's so lovely, and it was her coronation (celebration), so she had on all fuchsia, the fuchsia hat, the coat... the brooch," Sharon said.
"I was so overwhelmed... She just kept looking at me and I was like, 'I know that I can speak but it seem to have failed me now as I'm just staring at her...' I just stood there like a complete dumba**. She kept looking at me like, 'Who is this dumb woman staring at me?'" she added.
