The BBC released a report yesterday that Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II walked out of a setting with celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz. Prior to her March visit to the United States the Queen sat for four portraits with Ms. Leibovitz who is best known for her famous photographs of a nude very pregnant Demi Moore.

The BBC pre-released a documentary A Year With The Queen a behind-the-scenes look at royal life that has been filmed over the last year.

Leibovitz suggested that the queen, who was also wearing ceremonial robes, remove her crown for the shoot, but Elizabeth was not amused.

“I think it will look better without the crown because the garter robe is so..,” Leibovitz said, before the queen interrupted her.

“Less dressy? What do you think this is?” the monarch hit back, pointing at what she was wearing and giving her an icy stare.

The queen then walked off, with an official carrying the large train of her blue velvet cape, and telling another: “I’m not changing anything. I’ve had enough dressing like this, thank you very much.”

The BBC released an apology to the Queen today for making the implication that she had walked out of the photo session. However, they offered no alternative explanation except to say that the sequence of events was misrepresented.
