Sir Paul McCartney has shared his true feelings about the late Queen Elizabeth II, admitting he had a soft spot for her. The Beatles star, 84, opened up about his wife's theory that the late monarch fancied him, revealing that he had a secret crush on her when he was younger.

It is pertinent to mention that Sir Paul first met Her Majesty at the age of 21, after his band shot to global stardom. During a conversation on comedian Amy Poehler's 'Good Hang' podcast, Paul was asked about the most famous person he had met during his career.

Sir Paul said: 'The Queen. She was crowned when I was 11 and she was a babe.

She was 23 or something, so we always used to think, 'Wow, this is amazing'. You know, having a king, then we've got this girl, this babe... we liked her in other ways than we should have liked her.

Meeting her was special.' He continued: 'Nancy, my wife now, says, "She fancied you". There's no knowing if there's any truth to that but I like to think it's true.' Reflecting further on his encounters with the British royalty, the legendary musician described the atmosphere during those royal events as remarkably formal yet welcoming.

He noted that meeting such a monumental figure at a young age left a lasting impression on his life and career trajectory. The conversation also touched upon the broader cultural impact of The Beatles during the 1960s, a period when the band revolutionized popular music and became global cultural ambassadors for the United Kingdom.

Music historians and fans alike have often analyzed the complex relationship between British pop culture icons and the monarchy during the mid-20th century, noting how groups like The Beatles helped modernize the nation's image globally. Meanwhile, Paul also spoke about the forthcoming Beatles biopics, which are expected to shed new light on the legendary group's meteoric rise to fame, individual member dynamics, and their enduring legacy in modern musical history.

The announcement of these multi-part biographical films has generated immense excitement among longtime fans worldwide, eager to see how the cinematic adaptations will capture the spirit of Beatlemania and the personal journeys of John, Paul, George, and Ringo. As production details continue to emerge, industry experts anticipate that these projects will set new standards for music-based biographical cinema, further cementing the timeless appeal of Sir Paul McCartney and his bandmates.
