Billie Eilish details 'embarrassing' encounter with Royals: I was so worried

Billie Eilish hilariously recalled the time she had to learn proper etiquette ahead of her meeting with the royal family last year.

Speaking to Fitzy and Wippa on Australia’s Nova radio station, the Lovely singer revealed, “I was ready to curtsy. I was ready to not shake a hand. I was ready to not ask questions and not speak unless I was spoken to. And I was so worried about it.”

She got an audience with now-King Charles and Prince William and Kate Middleton at the premiere of the latest James Bond movie titled, No Time to Die, as she also recorded the movie’s theme song.

Eilish shared that all the angst and studying were in vain as she was startled by how friendly the Royals were when they walked in.

Eilish added that she and her brother, Finneas, were standing next to the movie's co-writer, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and asking her if she “knew the protocols” and that “you have to curtsy.”

“She was like, ‘No,’” Eilish quipped. “And we were like, ‘Oh. Ok. Nobody prepped you on the protocol?’ And she said, ‘No are we supposed to do something specific?’ We just thought it this big thing with all these rules.”
