Cate Blanchett just revealed a royal rumble of a story on *Watch What Happens Live* that might make you chuckle more than a court jester at a royal banquet.

So, picture this: Cate, glamorous as ever, is asked if she’s ever rubbed elbows with the late Queen Elizabeth. She responds with a tale that sounds like it was plucked straight from a sitcom script. Turns out, Cate once had the royal honor of a lunch invite at Buckingham Palace. But hold your tiarasβ€”this wasn’t just a high tea with the Queen.

Nope, it was a classic case of β€œHelp, I’m Royal and My DVD Player is on the Fritz!” The request came not from the Queen herself but from the late Prince Philip. Apparently, the Duke of Edinburgh figured that since Cate was a big-time actress, she must also be a tech wizard.

Cate remembered, with a chuckle, β€œPrince Philip asked if I could fix his DVD player. Because, you know, actress = tech support in royal logic.”

Did she swoop in like a DVD-saving superhero? β€œNope,” she laughed, β€œI left him to his discs. I’m about as good with technology as a royal corgi.”

She admitted she was baffled by the invite in the first place and mused that maybe her role as Queen Elizabeth I in *Elizabeth: The Golden Age* was the reason. But she quickly realized the Queen had likely never seen the film, or she might have thought Cate was more suited to solving royalty-level tech issues than acting!

Royal family, when in doubt, just call a tech-savvy actorβ€”or better yet, a geek squad!
