Isn’t it adorable when celebrities go back to the basics? Despite the rise of social media, some famous faces still appreciate the charm of a classic fan letter. That's exactly what happened when Emma Thompson decided to write a heartfelt note to Prince William after being honored with damehood. Let’s dive into this delightful story of kindness and admiration.

Back in 2018, the talented actress, now 60, was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire by none other than the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, who was 36 at the time. Recently, Emma opened up about the experience during an appearance on the Today show. She shared how much she cherished the moment and why she felt compelled to express her gratitude. "Prince William was handing out the awards, and he was just so kind and thoughtful," Emma recalled. "I ended up writing him a fan letter afterward because he was just so good to everyone. It was truly touching."

Impressed by Prince William's Grace

Emma went on to describe just how impressed she was by Prince William’s demeanor throughout the ceremony. "These ceremonies happen quite often, and he has to interact with so many people. Yet, he managed to engage with each and every one of them in such a sweet and generous way," she said. "It was truly remarkable to witness his kindness firsthand. It left a lasting impression on me."

Emma also shared how she received news of her honor while working on her latest film. "I was shooting Late Night when I got the letter. It’s fascinating to think about how these honors date back hundreds of years, all the way to the 12th century or even earlier," she explained. "It’s easy to assume that these titles are modern, but they’re deeply rooted in history. And when you receive such an honor, you have to decide whether you want to accept it or not. For me, it was a no-brainer. I accepted it in a heartbeat."

Emma's Light-Hearted Tales About Prince William

This isn’t the first time Emma has shared a funny anecdote about Prince William. In the past, she revealed an amusing incident involving the prince pinching her accidentally while trying to attach a pin to her blazer. "He pins it right there," Emma joked on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, pointing to Ellen’s chest. "It’s a bit of a nipple moment, and you think, 'Gosh, I wasn’t expecting that!' Then he pins another one underneath. I’m pretty low slung these days, so both times it hurt!"

Emma couldn’t help but laugh as she recounted making an "inappropriate noise" in Buckingham Palace. "Whoops! It’s not surprising, is it?" she said with a chuckle. Her candidness and humor make her stories all the more endearing to fans around the world.
