Question for British readers: If OBEs are distributed by the Princess Royal (and other royals of similar rank, I assume), what's the lowest honor in the British system that gets you an actual audience with the Queen? Does that take an actual knighthood?

I'm a lesbian, and I have an enormous crush on him. That is how awesome he is :)

I saw Princess Anne once. It was at Edinburgh Military Tattoo in 2003.

Even in his movies that aren't the best, I always like watching Alan Cumming. Did anyone here ever see Sweetland? I thought he was great in that.
