How does it live as a nobleman? Actress Emma Thompson must know: In June she was named "Queen" by Queen Elizabeth II. Now she explained - probably not quite serious - what has changed since then.

"I have become much more authoritative since it happened," said Thompson on the program Late Night with Seth Meyers. In addition, she had every chair on which she sits slightly increased, so people would have to look up to her more, joked the 59-year-old.

The award she accepted for one reason, said Thompson. One could have more principles and decide to say "Of course we no longer have an empire, thank God, because it was horrible, colonial, racist" - or you could do it as you do and think, "There will be a really nice badge . "

Emma Thompson is a multiple Golden Globes and Oscar winner. In German cinemas, the drama "Kindwohl" is currently playing, in which she plays a family judge.
