Actress Keeley Hawes is feeling
snubbed by the Queen after being left off the invitations for the royal
Charles Dickens bicentenary celebrations, unlike her husband — handsome
Little Dorrit star Matthew Macfadyen.
Asked
who she'd most like to have a cup of tea with, Keeley — who played
Lizzie Hexam in an acclaimed TV version of Our Mutual Friend — says:
'The Queen. My husband went to Buckingham Palace recently. He was
invited as part of the Dickens anniversary celebrations, which I was a
part of, too, so I don't know what happened to my invite!'
However, she adds diplomatically: 'I'm a huge fan of the Queen — I'll forgive her.'
Keeley,
who plays Lady Agnes Holland in Upstairs Downstairs, wanted to be a
ballet dancer 'like a lot of little girls', but opted for acting early
on.
'I went to stage school and did both there. Unfortunately, it soon becomes obvious if someone has rhythm or not,' she says.
