An 'Audience' with the British monarchy refers to the one-on-one meetings that are part of the Queen's working week. The majority of the Audiences are held with presidents, government officials, military leaders, and monarchs.
These meetings are held since Victorian times, but in Queen Elizabeth II's reign, Her Majesty is broadening her audiences with A-listing names -- from Lady Gaga to Jessie J, Will.I.Am to David Beckham.
