Julie Andrews and Elizabeth Taylor Interviewed After Meeting Queen Elizabeth II (2000)

On 16 May 2000, Hollywood icons Julie Andrews and Elizabeth Taylor were made dames at an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace. Speaking to ITN after the event, Julie Andrews described the "thrill" of the occasion and shared the kind words Queen Elizabeth II said to her. Liz Taylor, meanwhile, couldn't really remember what the Queen said to her. The star said she went "blank" with awe during their interaction, describing the occasion as "the most exciting day of my life".

No one has ever been more deserving of the title "Dame" than Elizabeth Taylor was. And Julia Andrews is not only beautiful, but kind too.

[@yvonneplant9434]

Taylor never gave up her British citizenship. That's part of why she was able to get this. ❤

​@yvonneplant9434 If I had a British citizenship, I would never give it up either. A British passport is a powerful thing to have.

Hi, I have a question and hope someone can explain it to me. Why do they say Miss Julie Andres and not Mrs? Same as with Elizabeth Taylor. Why is this? I’m all the way frim the Caribbean, Curaçao, that’s why my auestion😀

[@bobglass8398]

@@marlaschotborgh5350 Yes of course, Mrs shows respect too, but I believe it has something to do with the fact they are actresses and remain Miss. Even if they get married, in the profession they are still called Miss not Mrs, because they keep their maiden name.

Taylor's two sons are helping her. Michael Wilding is on her right. And Christopher Wilding is on her left.

Oy! Liz Taylor is so obviously blitzed out of her mind, requiring an attendant on each arm to support her and asking each question to be repeated. Just look at those glassy and bloodshot violet eyes. God love her!

[@catemccool4100]

Elizabeth Taylor. Best actress and so real!! She was an icon.

[@weskitten]

I liked her glamour, but was she a good actress? Too shrill. Was good as Martha in 1966's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, principally because she and Burton were playing real life with drunken brawls.

[@catemccool4100]

@@weskitten Have you seen Cat on a Hot Tin Roof? That is a difficult part and she was amazing as Maggie the cat.

[@weskitten]

@@catemccool4100 Yes. She and Paul Newman were outstanding. I agree. Great material by Tennessee Williams, even when played in an amateur theatre anywhere. Liz didn't do a lot of note post 1970. She was largely playing herself. Say, Night Watch (1973) or Return Engagement (1978). Don't mind her in Secret Ceremony with Robert Mitcham and Mia Farrow (1968). I think she grew weird over time. Too many illnesses and worshipful regard. A hypochondriac.

Julie Andrews 👑 would be lovely to see whole conversation with the Queen. Two classy woman.

Julie Andrews looks and behaves like royalty. She has such class and her voice is lovely. She really carries herself very well. What a contrast to Camilla

[@ah7910]

Huh? Please get a life. How anybody can start off complimenting Julie Andrews in a 20 year old news video… and end up complaining about Camilla is beyond me. Do you have a life? Let me guess, you’re retired right? You must have so much time on your hands to harbour resentment against people you’ve never met.

[@Spv1627]

What are you even trying to say? A classic Hollywood actress acts more royal than the Kings wife who is a just an upper class country woman? Would you rather Julie Andrews was the Queen?
