Britain's Queen Elizabeth was featured in a poll of inspirational British women. The monarch finished third in the survey of the top 10 positive role models for women, which was conducted by British bingo chain Mecca Bingo.
The 82-year-old royal was beaten to the top spot by Girls Aloud star and "The X Factor" judge Cheryl Cole. Last year, the 25-year-old singer topped the poll of the worst example set to British women.
Mecca Bingo representative Lesly Hughes said: "It is interesting to see how much public opinion of Cheryl has changed."
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling, who has an estimated $850 million fortune, was voted into second place.
Meanwhile, the queen attended the premiere of new British comedy "A Bunch of Amateurs" Monday night. She was accompanied by her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, to the Royal Film Performance in London.
The film's cast, including Imelda Staunton, Samantha Bond and Sir Derek Jacobi, all met the queen before the royal showing of "A Bunch of Amateurs."
Samantha, who previously played Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond franchise, revealed the queen found the plot "quite amusing."
She added: "I have never met the queen before. We discussed the chilliness of filming on the Isle of Man in February."
In the movie, Burt Reynolds plays an aging actor who is tricked into playing King Lear in a small production of the classic William Shakespeare tragedy in rural Suffolk.
