Hollywood actress Natalie Portman shared memories of the first meeting with the British King Charles III, when he still had the title of prince. The winner of the "Oscar" met the eldest son of Elizabeth II in 1999 during the London premiere of the film "Star Wars. Episode I:
The Hidden Menace,” in which she played Padme Amidala.
Natalie revealed on Watch What Happens Live that during her first conversation with Charles, he asked her an awkward question. According to the star, the heir to the throne wanted to know if she starred in the first parts of the franchise, which were released in 1977, 1980 and 1983.
Portman decided that in this way Charles was implying that she appeared much older than her years. At that time, the celebrity was only 18 years old.
“I remember Prince Charles - then he was Prince Charles - asked me if I was in the originals. I thought: "I'm 18". But he was very friendly,"," said Natalie, laughing.
