McCartney: Queen Elizabeth 'Fancied' Me!
15 Oct
Summary
- Paul McCartney believes Queen Elizabeth fancied him.
- McCartney met the Queen around age 21.
- His wife, Nancy Shevell, suggested the Queen's crush.
During a recent appearance on 'Good Hang with Amy Poehler,' Sir Paul McCartney recounted his memorable first meeting with Queen Elizabeth II. While McCartney was only 9 when she was crowned, he was approximately 21 when they officially crossed paths. He affectionately reminisced about the young Queen, calling her a 'babe' and admitting that many men found her appealing.
McCartney shared a humorous anecdote initiated by his wife, Nancy Shevell. She suggested that Queen Elizabeth II might have had a crush on him. McCartney, who is now married to Shevell since October 2011, found this notion amusing, though he noted there was no way to confirm its truth. He fondly remembered the late monarch, who passed away in September 2022 at age 96, as having a great sense of humor.
In addition to their personal encounters, McCartney penned 'Her Majesty,' a song from The Beatles' Abbey Road album, as a tribute to the Queen. He and Shevell, whom he met in the Hamptons in the summer of 2007, have been married for over a decade, celebrating their 15th anniversary recently.
