Washington
(ANI):
Australian
actress
Cate
Blanchett
was
stunned
to
have
been
mistaken
by
Prince
Philip
for
a
film
technician.
The
Oscar-winning
actress
got
the
shock
of
her
life
when
the
British
monarch's
husband
asked
her
to
fix
his
DVD
player.
The
whole
incident
occurred
after
Cate,
who
had
played
Queen
Elizabeth
I
twice,
told
the
Duke
of
Edinburgh
that
she
worked
in
film.
The
Duke
immediately
asked
her
to
fix
his
broken
appliance.
"There's
a
cord
sticking
out
of
the
back
of
the
machine.
Might
you
tell
me
where
it
goes?" Contactmusic
reports
the
Daily
Telegraph
as
claiming
the
Queen's
husband
telling
the
pregnant
star.
However,
a
spokesman
for
Buckingham
Palace
has
said
that
he
is
not
able
to
recall
the
Duke's
meeting
with
Miss
Blanchett.
"The
Duke
of
Edinburgh
meets
so
many
people
when
he
is
escorting
the
Queen
on
engagements,"
Contactmusic
quoted
the
spokesman
as
saying.
"These
are
often
film
stars,
actors
and
actresses.
I
cannot
recall
an
occasion
recently
when
he
might
have
met
Miss
Blanchett
but
we
do
not
always
get
guest
lists
for
every
engagement
or
social
function,"
he
added.
