Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren, who played Queen Elizebeth I in television series 'Elizabeth I', would love to own a handwritten note belonging to the queen.

The 68-year-old "The Queen" star is fond of the royal family and feels a great affinity with the monarchs having portrayed them on screen and stage, reported Contactmusic.

"I mean, to own a piece of history like that would be so incredible. Maybe one of her letters to her ambassadors, you know, rejecting the hand of the King of Spain or something like that would be great," she said.

Mirren is renowned for portraying three British queens in different films and television series. She is a four-time Academy Award nominee and has also won an Oscar for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen".
