Susan Boyle mistaken for Queen Elizabeth

An onlooker at the Gare du Nord station said: 'A rumour went round that the queen had arrived to catch a train back so everyone was told to observe royal etiquette.

'It soon became clear it was Susan - and not Her Majesty - but one train attendant still thought she was the queen. Susan roared with laughter when she realised the mix-up.'

Susan, 48, was travelling back from a hectic promotional tour, which included a performance at Italy's Sanremo festival and an appearance on a French TV show and the confusion provided a much-needed boost for the tired star.

A source said: 'She'd had a pretty hectic few days, but this really cheered her up.' (timeslive.co.za)
