Hugh Grant has a crush on the Queen

Hollywood actor Hugh Grant is a secret admirer of none other than the British monarch Queen Elizabeth II.

And, the news comes straight from his ex-girlfriend Jemima Khan.

According to Jemima, the Notting Hill star would often dream about the 80-year-old royal leading to a "stalkerish obsession", reports Contactmusic.

Jemima also revealed that the 47-year-old star would not leave any chance to meet the Queen.

"He'd dream about her regularly and would accept the most unlikely invitations just for a chance to see her,” she said.

Hugh’s ex-flame also narrated one of the meetings between the British actor and the monarch.

"She asked him politely what brought him to a reception for the Italian president, for example, and he claimed to have a passion for Italy,” said Jemima.

To which Jemima said: "I put her straight, 'He came to gawp at you again, Ma'am'. She nodded wearily."

Hugh and Jemima split amicably this year in February.
