Russian term or phrase: Не надо из себя строить королеву Британии
Здравствуйте еще раз. Помогите, пожалуйста, из того же ролика выражение перевести. Вот это место: https://youtu.be/0x-o2XbLB9E?t=1m54s

Продолжается спор между активистом и водителем, на машину которого первый наклеил наклейку, пока тот разговаривал по телефону:

- Вы могли ответить. Не надо из себя строить королеву Британии.

- Я никого не строю. Ты видел, что я разговариваю по телефону?

Аналогия с королевой тут приведена потому, наверное, что королева - очень важный человек, и может не обращать на других людей внимания, если занята важным делом.
