Imelda Staunton: Queen Elizabeth II

Quotes 

• Queen Elizabeth II : University hasn't been easy, by the sounds of it.

  Prince William : [chuckles lightly]  No.

  Queen Elizabeth II : If what Harry said is true, and your dissatisfaction has more to do with... affairs of the heart...

  [Williams smiles and picks up his jacket] 

  Queen Elizabeth II : Well, what else would one call it?

  [William thinks about this for a brief moment] 

  Prince William : [simply]  Dating.

  Queen Elizabeth II : Oh, yes. I don't know that word because we didn't do that in my day. We met someone, then married them and got on with it.

  [William puts on his jacket] 

  Prince William : [gladly]  There's certainly no danger of marriage in this case. There's no danger of... dating either. I've made a mess of it.

  Queen Elizabeth II : And you don't want to hear anything about other fish in the sea? Or encouragement to make another go of it?

  Prince William : Well, if I did that, it would be another word you don't know... stalking.

  Queen Elizabeth II : Actually, I *do* know that word.

  Prince William : Oh.

  [they both chuckle softly] 

  Queen Elizabeth II : [wise and encouraging]  Don't lose faith. I'm a *firm* believer that what was meant for you won't pass you by.

  [Queen Elizabeth looks up] 

  Queen Elizabeth II : He makes sure of that.
