William, Harry didn't know queen was Bond girl

London: British princes William and Harry said they were "completely in the dark" over their grandmother Queen Elizabeth's role as a 'Bond girl' in the Olympic opening ceremony.

In an act kept top-secret till the last moment, the queen and 007 actor Daniel Craig were shown parachuting into the Olympics stadium.

"We were kept completely in the dark about it. But now, as she did such a good performance, she's been asked to star in the next Bond film - I'm thrilled for her," the 30-year-old William was quoted as saying by The Sun.

His 27-year-old brother, Harry, added: "Both of us were slightly surprised with our grandmother's secret hobby - parachuting. It went down unbelievably well."
