Prince Philip Once Asked Cate Blanchett To Help Him With His DVD Player

Buy Me A Coffee

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 tiarasโ€”this wasnโ€™t just a high tea with the Queen.

Nope, it was a classic case of โ€œHelp, Iโ€™m Royal and My DVD Player is on the Fritz!โ€ 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, โ€œPrince Philip asked if I could fix his DVD player. Because, you know, actress = tech support in royal logic.โ€

Did she swoop in like a DVD-saving superhero? โ€œNope,โ€ she laughed, โ€œI left him to his discs. Iโ€™m about as good with technology as a royal corgi.โ€

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!
