In 1996, Kate Winslet met King Charles III for the first time Sense and Sensibility premiere in London.
However, her meeting was a fun affair, recalls the actress. “The first time I met him. Oh my god. He had come to support the royal premiere of Sense and Sensibility when I was 20,” she says Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The Titanic star continues, “I kind of didn’t realize we were actually going to meet him. So I forgot about the fact that I was really wearing some kind of see-through lace outfit.”
“And thank God I had a coat on, because when he’s coming at me, I’m like, ‘***p***! ***p***! ***p***! Oh, my God.” And then someone just said: ‘Coat!’ and [I covered myself] and said ‘Your Majesty,'” notes the actress.
After this somewhat embarrassing encounter, Kate now has a good relationship with the king. In his educational charity, the King Foundation, she serves as an ambassador.
He is “truly an extraordinary man,” noting, “He is very, very kind and extremely empathetic and very, very generous.”
It is worth noting that Kate and the monarch were last seen together last June during the King’s Foundation Awards ceremony in St. James’s Palace.
