Let me tell you, folks, Emma Thompson is truly one for the books! The legendary British actress was recently honored with the prestigious title of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace. But guess what? She didn’t just stop there—Emma had a little fun during the ceremony by trying to steal a kiss from Prince William himself. Can you believe that? She’s got quite the sense of humor, doesn’t she?
After the ceremony, Emma opened up to reporters gathered outside the palace about her playful exchange with the prince. She joked, “I adore Prince William. I've known him since he was a little boy, and we were giggling at each other like old friends. I even teased him by asking, ‘Can I kiss you?’ And he replied with a quick, ‘No, don’t!’” Talk about keeping things lighthearted and fun!
Emma went on to share more about her experience, saying, “He looks absolutely fantastic and is doing an incredible job. He told me, ‘This day isn’t about me, it’s all about you.’ It’s such a heartwarming moment because I’ve always admired both Prince William and Prince Harry. Over the years, I’ve had a close relationship with their father, Prince Charles, and it feels so special to be part of this tradition.”
