«Breaking News» Cate Blanchett reveals Prince Philip asked her advice on fixing his DVD PLAYER

Cate Blanchett has revealed how Prince Philip, 97, asked her if her career in film could help him fix his DVD player during a lunch at Buckingham Palace.

Appearing on ITV's The Jonathan Ross show at the weekend, the star revealed she'd wondered if the Queen wanted to ask her about playing her Oscar-winning role as her namesake, Queen Elizabeth I when she received the invite.

'There were 12 of us, and I couldn't work out for the life of me why I'd been invited,' she recalled. 'Playing Queen Elizabeth and sitting next to her, I thought, 'Maybe she's seen the movie and wants to ask me about my interpretation.'

Referring to the Duke of Edinburgh, Cate, 49, said: 'I sat next to him and he said, "I hear you're an actor? Well, I was given a DVD player for Christmas and I can't work out whether I put the green cord in or the red cord".

And I said "Sir, it's really not my expertise". I thought, "He's invited me to lunch to tell me about his DVD player".'

The Duke of Edinburgh (pictured at church at Sandringham in December 2016) asked Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett about which wires he should plug into a DVD player he'd received for Christmas 

Actor Ray Winstone who appeared on the show also shared an anecdote about the royal, recalling how he met the Duke while filming in Windsor. 

Prince Philip puled up in his Range Rover and asked the actor: 'What are you doing?'

'I said, "We're making a film, Sir with Sir Tom Courtenay and Sir Michael Caine, would you like to meet them?" And he went, "No".'

The Duke of Edinburgh retired from public life last year, but it was announced at the time that he would still attend occasional engagements with the Queen on a case-by-case basis.

He underwent hip-replacement surgery in April 2018 and attended Harry and Meghan's wedding without a cane or any visible limp just six weeks later. 

He got back in shape by walking up and down the stairs for days until he was fit enough to attend.

It later emerged that he has soldiered through the ceremony with a cracked rib, after having a fall in the bath days earlier. 

In recent weeks, the royal has been staying at Balmoral with the Queen where she traditionally enjoys her summer holidays surrounded by relatives.

He is reported to have been enjoying hunting and fishing during the annual summer stay.

Alongside deer stalking, the Queen's husband is reported to have been catching fish in the pretty River Dee, which runs through the estate.

The royals have been enjoying quality time together in the Queen's favourite holiday residence, with picnics and barbecues in the grounds.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
