Queen Elizabeth II might live (some of the time) in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, but Her Majesty has been pictured in a Paris Saint-Germain scarf ahead of their match against Chelsea... sort of.

The Ligue 1 club stepped up pressure between he two sides ahead of the last-16 tie in the Champions League by posting a picture of the Queen from Paris' Musee Grevin - the waxwork museum.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a likeness unveiled at the same Musee last week and it seems the club are happy to send up her Maj.

The caption read Hey Chelsea, it seems like [Winston] Churchill is not the only one ready for tonight... #GodSaveTheQueen.

Chelsea will be confident ahead of the match with Laurent Blanc's side suffering with numerous injuries. However, when the two sides met last year the Blues were well defeated in Paris 3-1.

The game kicks off at 7.45pm.
