'Game of Thrones': That Time Queen Cersei Met Queen Elizabeth II!
Queen Elizabeth II paid a visit to the “Game of Thrones” set on Tuesday as part of her Northern Ireland tour!
The visit included a meet and greet with Queen Cersei, played by Lena Headey, as well as the show's co-creators and executive producers David Benioff and Dan Weiss, and cast members Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte).

While fans were hoping the Queen, 88, would sit on the Iron Throne during her visit, she never attempted it, although she did seem to marvel at the chair made of swords.
Her Majesty's visit with the cast and the Iron Throne takes place about 35 minutes into the footage.
"Game of Thrones" is based on George RR Martin's fantasy series, "A Song of Fire and Ice."
