Queen Elizabeth

Sharon Stone was tongue-tied meeting Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

The 'Lovelace' actress stumbled over her words when she greeted the 87-year-old monarch during the Windsor Polo match in Berkshire last year because she was overcome with nerves and dazzled by the queen's good looks.

Speaking on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live', Sharon recalled: "I got a call that I was invited to the Windsor Polo match to sit in the Queen's box, so of course I instantly changed my plans and said to my oldest son, 'Come on, let's go we're gonna meet the Queen.

"Of course I'd never met the Queen I though this is the greatest thing that's ever happened. So we went, I nearly wounded myself doing the curtsies.

"You have to say 'Your Majesty' and the after the first time you have to say 'Ma'am...I was so tongue-tied, once I finally managed to choke out 'Your Majesty' it dawned on me that I was talking to the Queen - and she is so pretty!"

Sharon isn't the only star to succumb to the queen's charms, however. Girls Aloud singer Kimberley Walsh said meeting Her Majesty at the Royal Variety Performance in 2012 was one of the most surreal moments of her life.

She gushed: "It was one of those unbelievable things to tick off the life list. She was so sweet ... I went home afterwards and was like, 'Did I just dream that?!' It was bizarre."
