What a queen.

Dame Judi Dench is one of the first women ever to join the Garrick Club Dame Judi Dench and Dame Siân Phillips have just become the first women to join The Garrick Club in its 193-year history, it has been reported. In May, around 60% of members of the London private members club voted to admit women in a move that was reportedly previously blocked.

The Garrick retained its men only policy despite decades of pressure to allow women through its doors, and it was only after The Guardian revealed its membership list for the first time in March that the reported decision to do so came about. Head of civil service Simon Case and MI6 chief Richard Moore resigned their membership after the list came out.
