LONDON, Dec. 8 (UPI) -- It was queen against queen at the British royal's Christmas party and as always Queen Elizabeth, although at first taken aback, kept her cool.

The real queen seemed momentarily dazed by Perry, who produces ceramic art and prints.

"She asked me what I did, and when I explained she seemed more comfortable," he said. "But I don't think she could believe her eyes when she saw me."
