The TV show behind the scenes is indeed the movie, Game of Thrones. Queen Elizabeth
once visited the Game of Thrones set. She was shown all the costumes, the
weapons, and all the material used for the show.
However,
she knew very little about the series, because she knows very little about
popular culture in general, an example being the fact that there is this video
where the Queen asks Jimmy Page if he plays guitar. (Jimmy Page is the Led
Zeppelin guitarist and is one of the best guitarists in history).
So,
already the idea that the Queen visits a set of a show is something unusual,
plus think that this series is about the obsession with having control of a
throne then the story is incredible, almost comical I would say.
While
touring the set: Kit Harrington, one of the main actors of the series, asked
the Queen if she would like to sit on the Iron Throne.
The
answer to the question by the Queen’s guard was: “The monarch of the United
Kingdom is not allowed to sit on a foreign throne, real or fictitious.”
