 LONDON (AP) - The queen won't be meeting "The Queen" just yet. Helen Mirren, who won an Oscar for playing Queen Elizabeth II, has turned down an invitation to dinner at Buckingham Palace, a British newspaper reported.
The Mail on Sunday said Mirren had been invited to dine with the queen last week, but sent her regrets because she is filming "National Treasure: Book of Secrets" in the United States.
"The palace very kindly extended an invitation to dinner last Tuesday, May 1," Mirren said in a statement quoted by the newspaper. "But, unfortunately, I was filming in South Dakota and unable to change my schedule. I am very sad not to have been able to attend."
