Earlier in the day the star again enjoyed the sights as she took to the outdoor space in a more casual attire.

The Queen actress wore a checked shirt which she layered over a simple lavender t-shirt and slate corduroy peddle pushers.

Dame Helen completed the look with a striking burnt orange head scarf which she tied in a high bow.  

This comes after it was recently announced the actress had been cast alongside Harrison Ford in the upcoming Yellowstone prequel series ‘1932’ for streaming service Paramount+.

The bold casting move proved Paramount+ is going big with the hugely popular franchise, particularly with Harrison, 79, who commanded a whopping $65,000,000 salary for his role in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 2008.

Meanwhile Dame Helen doesn’t come cheap either after reportedly receiving $2,000,000 for just five days work on action flick The Fate Of The Furious. 

1932, which is the show’s working title, will be an origin story that will introduce a new generation of the Dutton family.

Paramount+ said in a statement that the drama will ‘explore the early 20th century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain West and the Duttons who call it home.’

There have been no further details on the characters that the movie stars will be playing. 

Ford and Mirren are the latest stars to join the Yellowstone universe, from creator Taylor Sheridan, which has already produced the spin-off 1883, starring Sam Elliott and Faith Hill.

The American drama premiered in 2018, on Paramount Network with Kevin Costner as the lead star, playing John Dutton, a widowed sixth-generation patriarch of the Dutton family who operates the Yellowstone/Dutton Ranch. 

It has since built up a huge audience, with its season four finale reaching Game of Thrones-level height of 9.3million viewers. 

The show has become the highest rated show in cable television and has defied the massive industry-wide declines in viewership over the past few years.
