God save the Queen anyone who pisses off the Queen!

Helen Mirren reprised her role as Queen Elizabeth II for the award-winning stage production of The Audience at the Gielgud Theatre in London this weekend!

But the real show took place outside where the actress told off a group of noisy drummers!

The street performers were apparently promoting the As One in the Park festival for the LGBT community later that month, but Helen found their banging a little distracting and told them so herself at the intermission!

She admitted that it definitely wasn’t one of her finer moments, and that she may have used a few no-no words:

MASSIVE congratulations are in order for Stella McCartney, who just received an OBE from Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday.

What an honor!

The designer attended the Investiture Ceremony at Buckingham Palace with husband Alasdhair Willis and looked phenomenal in a navy skirt suit of her own design and cobalt blue pumps.

Kind of similar to Kate Winslet's Queen-meeting outfit from last year!

An embellished and veiled headpiece gave her the most regal air, and we're sure the Queen appreciated it!

Congrats, Stella! You SO deserve it!

These poor Royals just CAN'T seem to avoid stomach problems, can they?

Months after a pregnant Kate Middleton was hospitalized for severe morning sickness, her grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II, has been forced to cancel a trip to Rome because she's been admitted to King Edward VII Hospital to treat what's possibly gastroenteritis - AKA a stomach bug!

James Roscoe, a press officer for Buckingham Palace, confirmed today:

2012 was quite a year for Stella McCartney.

The designer saw her clothes being worn by big-name actresses and models all over the world, won the Designer Brand and Designer of the Year Award at the British Fashion Awards, and got the venerable honor of designing the uniforms for Team GB at last summer's Olympic Games.

Nice!

Now, Paul McCartney's talented daughter was named an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II for her services to Britain as a fashion designer.

Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen was the latest designer to receive the honor, so Stella's in really good company!

We are so proud of Stella. She's truly come a long way since her days at Chloé. And we bet the best is yet to come!

In fact, we have a feeling she's now officially in the running to dress Kate Middleton's baby bump!

Congrats!

Aw! Look at those handsome boy band blokes!

One Direction might’ve met and taken the stage in front of Queen Elizabeth II a few weeks ago, but now we finally get to see how their royal performance went!

The boys looked dapper as they sweetly sang their single, Little Things, for Liz and a SUPER huge audience!

Check out 1D at the Royal Variety Show (above)!!!

We’re sure the Queen didn’t mind being serenaded with that! LOLz! What an honor!

Oh and did you catch the crazy Directioner at the end of it all?! Ha!!!

God save the Queen… from millions of jealous Directioners!

Looks like the boys of One Direction had quite the night to remember on Monday, when they hit the stage for the 2012 Royal Variety Performance in London!

Niall, Harry, Louis, Liam and Zayn sang their single, Little Things, for Queen Elizabeth II and looked dapper in their suits as they met the royals!

Check out the AH-Mazing pic (above) of the boy band and Liz!

Wow! What an experience… ! We can only wonder what kind of words were exchanged during the encounter!

Think the Queen copped herself Take Me Home yet??? LOLz!
