It’s not all the time that an African celebrity gets to be invited to the Buckingham Place—even if it’s for a reception, let alone to meet the Queen of England.
So it was a big deal when Nollywood actress-Stephanie Linus attended the Queen’s Young Leaders Award reception last night, set up by the Queen Elizabeth Diamond Jubilee Trust in partnership with Comic Relief and the Royal Commonwealth Society.
She was invited and she attended with her husband-Linus Idahosa to be part of the guests who witnessed the Queen awarding 60 people for their contribution to humanity.
“Winners aged 18-29 were chosen from 35 Commonwealth countries, and as well as receiving their awards at Buckingham Palace they will David Cameron at Downing Street, visit Twitter and the BBC and take part in a two-day leadership course at Cambridge University,” writes The Telegraph.
Anyway, Nigerian actress-Stephanie Linus and her husband made sure they took some selfies while inside Buckingham Place–and they were also captured when they met Queen Elizabeth II.
Flip to the next pages to see the photos…
While Nigeria stars are recognised by a whole queen, local champions are being disowned by ace hood… We as Ghanaians need to upgrade

wondering how many years it would take Ghanaian celebrities to even meet Opera like Genevieve not to talk of going to see to queen i bet that would take us 2 decades.
