Emma Thompson got Prince William all flustered.
The 59-year-old got cheeky with the royal while being honored at Buckingham Palace. Thompson was officially given the title of Dame in the Queen’s Birthday Honors list in June.
The ceremony took place at Buckingham Palace on Wednesday. Prince William definitely got more than he bargained for as the Oscar, Golden Globe and Emmy-winning actress made him blush when she asked if she could kiss him.
”I love Prince William, I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other,” Thompson told The Daily Mail. “I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No, don’t!'” She continued: “If you’re first up, you have to be more formal on such an occasion, but he’s looking wonderful and doing so well. He said, ‘This day isn’t about me, it’s about you.’”
The Duke of Cambridge isn’t the only royal Thompson is fond of. She said, “It’s really lovely because I’ve always loved the boys, and I’ve always been a long-term correspondent with their dad,” she said. “It’s a very lovely feeling.”
Thompson was accompanied by her husband Greg Wise, and their children, Gaia, 18, and Tindyebwa, 19, for the ceremony. She opted for an elegant blue suit and white sneakers for the regal occasion.
Congratulation, Dame Emma!
