In this modern and feckless age, even the most humble of scullery maids is afforded the opportunity to slap on some makeup and partake in a photo opportunity with the Queen.
What I love about this photo is that Mirren, the “Older Woman,” who’s supposed to look over the hill and haggard, looks much, much better than the “Younger Woman,” who is supposed to be the hotter of the two.
