A royal occasion for Royle Liz
Updated on 10 July 2009
Royle Family star Liz Smith received the royal seal of approval - but the Prince of Wales admitted his relief that his relatives were nothing like her fictional family.
Charles told the 87-year-old, who played the ailing Nana in the hit show, as he presented her with an MBE that the sofa-bound TV characters were "nothing like my family, thank God".
Smith, who only became a household name in her 50s, said: "Everything happens to me late in life - nothing happened early, I just struggled on."
