Get ready for a royal scoop! During a candid interview on the Graham Norton Show, beloved actor Ian McKellen revealed a hilarious yet scandalous moment from his past. Alongside his dear friend and fellow thespian, Judi Dench, Ian admitted to committing the ultimate palace faux pas: sitting on none other than Queen Elizabeth's throne. "Buckingham Palace brings out the worst in you!" Ian joked, adding a touch of humor to what could have been a serious breach of royal protocol.

How Did They End Up on the Throne?

Now, you're probably wondering how this whole escapade went down. According to Ian, it all started one magical evening after he and Judi attended a formal dinner at Buckingham Palace. Once the banquet concluded, the duo followed the sound of music into another room. As they danced around, they realized, to their astonishment, that they had wandered into the throne room. And, well, one thing led to another. "We were dancing around when we realized it was the throne room," Ian recounted with a chuckle. It's the kind of story that makes you wonder what other secrets Buckingham Palace holds.

More Palace Mishaps

But wait, there's more! Ian also shared another amusing tale about his less-than-perfect behavior at Buckingham Palace. During a concert at the palace, Ian was given a dressing room right next to the balcony. Deciding to take a quick smoke break, Ian stepped out onto the balcony with a cigarette in hand, enjoying the stunning view of The Mall. Suddenly, a searchlight shone on him, and a policeman shouted from below, "Sir Ian, don't forget you're in Buckingham Palace!" Imagine the surprise on his face when he realized he was caught red-handed!
