The Simpsons’ most memorable cameos
The Simpsons has featured many big-name celebrity cameos since it first started in 1989. Some of the most memorable have included Paul and Linda McCartney, Buzz Aldrin, Lady Gaga, Stephen Hawking and Michael Jackson – who played a patient in a mental health facility who believed he was Michael Jackson.
Whilst Queen Elizabeth II has appeared as a character on The Simpsons several times, she has (unsurprisingly) never been voiced by Her Maj herself. Instead, the character has been voiced by actors Tress MacNeille and Maggie Roswell, as well as British comedian Eddie Izzard. Prince Harry himself has also been portrayed briefly on the show – as a picture of him and Bart on a wild night out was shown in 2003 episode The Regina Monologues.
