Mail.comBELFAST, Northern Ireland (AP) — For Queen Elizabeth II, one throne is enough.
The United Kingdom’s 88-year-old monarch toured the Belfast sets of the hit HBO series “Game of Thrones” and met many of its stars Tuesday beside the show’s sword-covered seat of power, the Iron Throne.
Unlike many visitors to Belfast’s Titanic Studios, the monarch declined to take a seat on the throne created for the ruler of the mythical Seven Kingdoms. “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss escorted the monarch through the show’s custom-made armory, hangars of costumes, and sprawling sets used to shoot the program’s interior scenes and perilous ice-cliff ascents — part of the biggest TV production ever mounted in Europe.
She chatted with actors Lena Headey, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner, Kit Harington, Rose Leslie and Conleth Hill.
