And what do you do?
Every year it's the same: the Queen, smile glued in place, pressing the evening-gloved flesh and exchanging a few choice, plummy, but tantalisingly unheard, words with the latest star of the latest royal film premiere.
Although the images represent a great span of time, the brief conversations have always been a matter for conjecture. Until now, that is. 'She asked about Bond,' Madonna claimed of her meeting with Her Majesty on Monday, although this seems a very likely story given that Mrs Ritchie clearly had to suppress either a fit of giggles or a bout of wind brought on by whatever the Queen had said.
Determined to solve the mystery of the royal film-premiere dialogue, we assembled a crack team of experts in protocol and body language to work from each picture exactly what our own dear Queen might be saying.
