'Game of Thrones' star Emilia Clarke has an embarrassing moment when meeting Prince William

Emilia Clarke is a self-proclaimed fan of the British royal family and she skipped the screening of her own film just to catch the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

Looks like even the Queen of the Andals and the First Men and Mother of Dragons Khaleesi has trouble being calm and composed when it comes to the royal family. Emilia Clarke recently admitted that she struggled to stick to the royal protocol when she met Prince William for the first time this year at Buckingham Palace. This also involved a bit of an embarrassing moment with the Duke of Cambridge.

Speaking about last year's incident, Clarke said in an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers: "It was good," and accompanied that with a nervous face. The reason behind the face she made was revealed soon after as she went on to explain exactly why the meeting was embarrassing.

"So, it is a frightening thing going to the palace," she continued. "There’s a whole… There’s a thing when you’re there... I was just relaxing and they [said], 'Prince William is coming,' so I was like, 'Oh, cool, great'. I'm really relaxed and everything is going to be fine.'"
