Windsor is coming.
Sure, sitting on the Throne of England is cozy enough, but we always suspected that Queen Elizabeth II was lusting after a slightly more perilous regal seat: the Iron Throne.
Now, we have proof, as the queen paid a visit to the Game of Thrones set in Belfast, Ireland, on Tuesday. Prince Philip was in tow, who we imagine would serve as the Hand of the King. (Never use the bathroom in King's Landing, Philip.)
Maybe the queen is truly interested in playing the game of thrones; or maybe, like most of us, she's just suffering from Game of Thrones withdrawal. In any case, she seemed to enjoy looking at the many props and costumes from the show. She also takes an especially long look at the Iron Throne, making us wonder: is Queen Elizabeth II the ruler Westeros deserves?
Unfortunately, the queen never actually sat on the Iron Throne -- she probably knows what happens to the people who do (coughJoffreycough) -- but that doesn't mean the Internet couldn't imagine it.
The royal pair also met several of the TV series stars, including HBO show creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss and actors Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Maisie Williams (Arya Stark), Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark), Kit Harington (Jon Snow) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte).
But they did not bend the knee, so it looks like the queen will have a bit of a battle conquering Westeros. Perhaps she could borrow one of Dany's dragons?
Check out the video above to see the queen's stroll through the set.
Her Madge Queen Elizabeth visiting Westeros today, AKA Northern Ireland. Risky gambit: did we learn nothing from the death of Ned Stark?

Queen Elizabeth is going to visit the Game of Thrones set. After 4 seasons, she should know what happens to royalty in Westeros.

I wonder how many jubilees Queen Elizabeth would have celebrated on the Iron Throne in Westeros... #GoT

Hurrah! HM Queen Elizabeth takes the Iron Throne of Westeros. And not a dragon, a Mountain or a Hound in sight. Magic. #GameOfThrones
