" Queen Elizabeth II might have\u00A0turned 90 this year, but that doesn&amp;#039;t stop her from letting out her inner fangirl every once in a while. At the\u00A0Queen&amp;#039;s Young Leaders Awards held at\u00A0Buckingham Palace yesterday, she gave a huge rare smile while shaking hands with David Beckham, who&amp;#039;s been involved in her young leaders project for two years now.\u00A0 The reserved royal remained calm during the her meet-up with the soccer star, but the excitement in her face said it all.\u00A0  That apparently wasn&amp;#039;t the first time\u00A0she&amp;#039;s given Beckham a friendly greeting.\u00A0 At last year&amp;#039;s\u00A0Queen&amp;#039;s Young Leaders awards, she gave him this\u00A0enthusiastic\u00A0welcome.  And here\u00A0she is meeting Beckham back in 2002, eyes bright and white, perhaps starstruck and swooning\u00A0over his bleach blonde highlights\u00A0and goatee.\u00A0  Still swooning.  Long live the Queen\u2014and her shameless celeb crush.\u00A0 [h/t ET] "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
