"Helen Mirren has helped fulfil a dying boy&amp;#039;s wish to meet the Queen. The British actress met with 10-year-old Oliver Burton backstage at her West End play The Audience, in which she portrays the monarch.  Oliver Burton is battling cancer for the third time and his main wish was to have tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace, reports the Daily Mail. However, when Mirren heard of his request, she paid for a limousine to pick him and his parents up and to watch her show. He met with the actress backstage, where she introduced him to her corgis and her butler served them tea. His parents explained that Oliver believed that she was the real Queen and she proceeded to knight him during his visit. His dad James Browne said: &amp;quot;She stayed in character for the whole thing. Oliver thought she was the real Queen, and well, that&amp;#039;s good enough for us. &amp;quot;She was really lovely. She did the whole thing - had a butler there, was dressed in costume and did it all properly for him. &amp;quot;She sat in Oliver&amp;#039;s wheelchair and gave him her big chair. She had a glass of coke together and biscuits and little sandwiches and they even brought in her corgis from the show, Coco and Roco. &amp;quot;She was wonderful and in some of the photos you do a double take because she really does look like the real Queen. &amp;quot;She knighted him and told everyone that they had to call him Sir Oliver. He had a brilliant day.&amp;quot;  Oliver has been battling leukaemia since 2006, when he was aged just 3. His parents were told that he only has weeks or months left to live. The National Children&amp;#039;s Tumour Leukaemia Cancer Trust previously wrote to the Queen but she replied saying she could not meet everyone who asked for royal appointments. However, they later wrote to Helen Mirren, who agreed to meet with Oliver. Family support worker Andi Daw said: &amp;quot;I expected it to be two minutes in and out, but it was not at all. &amp;quot;They had tea and cakes, they had the corgis, and they really took care of them. The [Gielgud Theatre] could not have been more helpful, we really could not fault them. &amp;quot;It has made an enormous difference to Catherine and her family. She even said she has woken up the last few days feeling lifted. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a memory that she will hold for the rest of her life. Even when Ollie is not around anymore they have got something they can look back on. &amp;quot;It really was Ollie&amp;#039;s biggest wish to meet the Queen so it was absolutely huge.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
