Stuttering, awkward silence and 3 more embarrassments at celebrity meetings with the queen and princes

Many stars have managed to meet with royalty. One of those lucky ones is the Ukrainian singer Yulia Sanina, frontwoman of the band The Hardkiss. She became the host of the international song contest Eurovision 2023.

At the official opening of the stage, the star met with King Charles and his wife, Queen Consort Camilla. The singer gracefully curtsied, and on behalf of the entire Ukrainian nation thanked His Majesty for his help. "The feeling is so warm, very nice from the man," Yulia shared her emotions on Instagram-stories.

However, not all celebrity meetings with members of the family of monarchs went so well. Some of them got into funny situations due to ignorance of protocol, the difference of cultures or banal because they did not know what the royal faces look like.

Ben Affleck.

American actor, screenwriter and film director Ben Affleck took his son Samuel to a children's play center during a visit to London. There the boy met the children of the Duke of Cambridge William and Kate Middleton - Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Ben at first did not even realize who his child was playing with. He only wondered why there were so many bodyguards in the building.

British theater, television and film actress Emilia Clarke, best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the television series "Game of Thrones," got so excited during her meeting with Prince William that she began to stutter. She could barely say "Your Majesty. By the way, the Duke of Cambridge and his wife Kate Middleton are very fond of watching "Game of Thrones", and before watching the series they order home delivery of food, where they often prefer Chinese food.

3. Margot Robbie

Australian actress Margot Robbie met Prince Harry during actress and model Alice Sookie Waterhouse's housewarming party. The star didn't immediately recognize him, and even mistook him for musician Ed Sheeran, who has the same red hair. According to Robbie, Harry then took offense at her.

4. Shawn Mendes

Canadian singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes performed at a concert celebrating Elizabeth II's 92nd birthday. Before he went on stage, he found himself alone with the queen, but he didn't say a word. Sean knew the rules of protocol required him to wait until Her Majesty spoke first. "It was ten minutes of awkward silence between me and the Queen. She didn't look at me. I looked a few times and thought I shouldn't have done it either." It was very surprising," Mendes admitted in an interview.

5. David Duchovny.

American movie actor David Duchovny was once sitting next to Prince Charles at an All Saints concert. When the lyrics of one of the songs, "Booty call," came on, His Highness asked what it was. It's a slang expression that means to call someone and invite them to spend the night together. Celebrity tried to explain the point at length and in a gentle manner. When Prince understood, he simply said: "Oh!"
