Inside Queen Elizabeth and David Attenborough's decades-long friendship

Queen Elizabeth II has no problem poking fun at James Bond! Daniel Craig, who recently made his last movie as the handsome spy, appeared on Wednesday's episode of  and talked about meeting Her Majesty while filming a sketch for the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Craig described the 95-year-old monarch as «very funny,» adding she «wants to crack a joke,» and «crack a joke about me.»He recalled filming the scene, which involved James Bond picking up the queen at Buckingham Palace and taking her via helicopter to Millennium Stadium. In true 007 fashion, the two then jump out of the helicopter and parachute into the crowd.

It's no secret that Queen Elizabeth is a huge dog lover, so it comes as no surprise that her pet pooches live very lavish lifestyles. Her Majesty, 95, has taken care of numerous dogs throughout her 70-year reign, and she is currently the owner of two corgis, a dorgi called Candy, and a cocker spaniel named Lissy.

Queen Elizabeth boasts a property empire estimated to be worth around £14.1billion, with homes dotted around the entire country. Many of Her Majesty's properties are unoccupied however, giving members of the royal family opportunity to move whenever they wish to do so.

Queen Elizabeth II met with Prince Charles before he tested positive for COVID-19 and is now being closely monitored, a royal source tells ET. On Thursday, Clarence House announced that Charles — who is vaccinated and boosted — tested positive for COVID-19 that morning and is now self-isolating. Our source tells ET that 95-year-old Elizabeth and 73-year-old Charles met on Tuesday after she returned from Sandringham.

Queen Elizabeth is keeping her late husband, Prince Philip, very close to her these days. The 95-year-old British monarch was spotted over the weekend using the same walking cane Philip used prior to his death in April 2021. Elizabeth made her first public appearance of the new year on Saturday, hosting a reception at her Sandringham House estate on the eve of her Accession Day.

Prince Charles, 73, and Camilla, 74, tied the knot back in 2005, with the Duchess becoming step-mum to both Prince William and Prince Harry.

Prince Charles couldn’t be happier that Queen Elizabeth wants Camilla Parker Bowles to be called “Queen Consort” when he takes over the throne one day.

In a statement released on Sunday (February 6) marking the 70th anniversary of the Queen ascending the throne, the Prince of Wales said he was “deeply honored” that his mother wished his “darling wife” to take the title of “Queen Consort” when he becomes King. The move was welcomed by the Royal family as there had been suggestions Camilla might use the title of “Princess Consort” due to remaining public tensions over the tragic 1997 death of Charle’s first wife Princess Diana.
