Emilia Clarke revealed her cringe-worthy run-in with Prince William on Late Night With Seth Meyers. She explained that they met after the 2018 Centrepoint Awards at Kensington Palace in February. “It’s kind of a frightening thing going to the palace,” she said. “I was kind of just relaxing, and then they were like, ‘Oh, he’s going to come in. Prince William is going to come in.’ And so I was like, ‘Oh, cool, great! I’m really relaxed and everything’s going to be fine.’” She was give a run-down on etiquette, which, in her fright, she says she forgot or abandoned. “For whatever reason – probably because I was so scared – I couldn’t manage to get out ‘Your Royal Highness,’” she recalled before cringing and laughing. Clarke can next be seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, which opens May 25th. (HuffPo – Click our Twitter or Facebook buttons to share this link!)
