Betty White was an actress, novelist, animal rights activist, television personality, and comedienne from the United States.

She also worked as a producer and is regarded as one of the pioneers of American television, having played an important role both behind and in front of the camera in the early days of the medium’s existence.

She was the first female to produce a sitcom, earning her the honorary title of ‘Mayor of Hollywood.’

Betty White won several honours for her work in comedies, game shows, and comedic television series.

Has Betty White met Queen Elizabeth II?

One Reddit user started the topic, saying, “I understand that the Queen of England was so smitten by The Golden Gals that she demanded you girls make a live concert for her and the team obliged? What was the narrative, and did you have to ‘tone down’ any of the jokes, especially those by Rue McClanahan?”

It was a thrilling experience, Betty said, “The Queen was beautiful. We were warned not to address her until she addressed us first. She was in a box and later appeared on stage with Princess Anne”.

Betty later said the latter complemented the Golden Girls.
