Queen Elizabeth was tickled pink to make a new pal in the weeks before her death: “Top Gun” actor Tom Cruise, according to a report.
The monarch and the “Mission Impossible” star “really hit it off” over the summer, a source told the Sunday Times of London., marking her 70th anniversary on the throne, but the ailing royal was plagued by mobility issues and unable to meet him.
“The Queen let it be known that she was really disappointed not to have met Tom at the pageant, so he was invited to have a special tour of Windsor Castle with everything laid on for him. Afterwards, just the two of them had tea together,” the source said.“She loved seeing him and they really hit it off, so much so that she invited him back for lunch. He was even allowed to fly in by helicopter,” the source added.Photo by Steve Parsons/PA Images via Getty Imagesdied on Sept.
“She’s just a woman that I greatly admire. I think she is someone who has tremendous dignity and I admire her devotion. What she has accomplished has been historic,” he said at the time.
