Veteran actress Helen Mirren said she was significantly less than confident when she met the real Queen two years after the release of her film 'The Queen'.
The 68-year-old actress, who also bagged an Oscar for her performance in the 2006 film, said she got 'queenitis' when she met Queen Elizabeth II, reported People magazine.
"I was terrified. There are certain people who can deal with meeting the queen. But the vast majority of us get queenitis. You just - you cannot think of anything to say," she said.
