Sir Elton John starred in a ‘Saturday Night Live’ skit in which he hurled insults at the Queen and Prince Philip, calling the monarch a ”mean old b***h”.<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Sir Elton John fought with ‘Queen Elizabeth’ in a comedy sketch on ‘Saturday Night Live’ last night (03.04.11).<\/p>\n

The singer appeared on the popular US late-night show to act in a skit which saw him come to blows with the British monarch and her husband Prince Philip over whether he would be performing at their grandson Prince William’s wedding.<\/p>\n

In the daring scene the actors made fun of Elton and his performance at Princess Diana’s funeral in 1997 – and even went as far as to call the Queen a “mean old b***h.”<\/p>\n

Played by Fred Armisen, the royal is portrayed as saying to Elton: “We know you play at everything we do, but don’t think you can half-ass it.”<\/p>\n

Prince Philip, depicted by Bill Hader, adds: “You’re going to change the words to ‘Candle in the Wind’ again? Boo-hoo.”<\/p>\n

The ‘Rocket Man’ star – who in reality is invited to William’s nuptials to Kate Middleton on April 29 – then retaliates by hurling the insult at the Queen.<\/p>\n
