Mirren takes on royal role to name cruise ship

Oscar-winner Helen Mirren revisited her role as British royalty when she was invited to officially name the UK's biggest ever cruise liner at a ceremony in Southampton, England, on Wednesday.

'The Queen' actress gave the orders for Royal Marine commandos to abseil from the bridge to the newly launched Ventura ship, and fans cheered as she 'christened' the liner by smashing a bottle of champagne against its bow.
