The crowd at Olympic Stadium in London waited in anticipation as delegations from 205 countries entered before Great Britain's.

But when the time came for the host nation to march, one observer had something else on her mind.

Queen Elizabeth II of England was shown on the broadcast picking her nails as the delegation of the host country took the field last among the parade of nations as is the custom during the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Yet, NBC's Matt Lauer said that the queen was "cheering wildly."

The 86-year-old monarch was sitting next to International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge and her husband, Prince Philip, at the time of her distraction.

In a comedic entrance to the stadium before the athletes marched, she appeared in a video that showed her with actor Daniel Craig, the most-recent star of the James Bondmovies

She later declared the Olympic Games open.
