05-13-2004 – The Mirror – A Royal Flush

HER dad might have been the 6th Marquess of Bristol, but when it comes to true nobility, it seems Isabella Hervey could learn a lot from Queen guitarist Brian May.

Brian invited Isabella – winner of C4’s The Games 2004 – to a party at London’s Hard Rock Cafe on Tuesday, to celebrate the second anniversary of the Queen musical, We Will Rock You.

But it was red-faces all round when it transpired that the dizzy 21-year-old socialite had never heard any of the band’s hits – including Bohemian Rhapsody – and had no idea who her host was.

“It was hilarious,” says our spy. “She came out with gems like, ‘What’s a bohemian raspberry?’ and ‘What’s he got to do with the Queen?’ Her aide had to explain how Brian had penned most of the rock band’s hits – including We Will Rock You, the whole point of the party.”

What a waste of an expensive education…
