How Kate Middleton made Oscar-winner Allison Janney feel like a 'wimp' at BAFTAs
Allison Janney recalled her hilarious encounter with the then-Duchess of Cambridge at the 2018 BAFTAs
Turns out even Oscar-winning actors get humbled by royals, and Kate Middleton didn’t even have to say a word.
Actor Allison Janney recalled her hilarious encounter with the then-Duchess of Cambridge at the 2018 BAFTAs.
“I met Kate and William, and she was in her heels and pregnant,” Janney told The Late Late Show with James Corden.
“I felt like a bit of a wimp that I was there in my bare feet.”
“She was my height when I was in bare feet,” Janney laughed. “It was kind of extraordinary.”
Janney even admitted to dropping a casual “honey” when speaking to Kate.
“That might not have been royal etiquette,” she added with a shrug.
She’s not the only celeb to get a little starstruck by the Princess of Wales.
Reese Witherspoon wrote in her book Whiskey in a Teacup that she “screamed” when she got an invite to meet Kate during her 2011 LA visit.
“I don’t even know how I got so lucky,” Reese gushed. “She was lovely and warm, elegant and composed.”
Even F1 legend Lewis Hamilton got royal nerves when meeting Queen Elizabeth II back in 2009.
“It was one of the most overwhelming experiences I've ever had,” he said after receiving his MBE.
