Graham asked Miranda if she had been hanging out with the royals after she presented the Jubilee Concert in 2012.

“I met her and I did the right thing I think, I did a little bob and she just stared at me, I’m not joking,” she replied.

“I thought surely the rule was she starts the speaking, but I went ‘I was one of the presenters earlier in the concert’ and she went ‘oh’ and then stared.”

“And then I’m not exaggerating, she did…” she added, mimicking a large yawn.

“She did what can only be described as the yawn of a dog.”

Ahead of the show, which is called Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration, Miranda said: “What happened with my sitcom and comedy alter-ego over the last 10 years has been unexpected to say the least, so it’s very moving for me to have the chance to celebrate and thank my cast and the fans from The Palladium stage.
