Natalie Portman Recalls Amusing Encounter with King Charles on Watch What Happens Live
Natalie Portman, famous for her portrayal of Padme Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, recently recounted an interesting interaction with King Charles during her appearance on the television program Watch What Happens Live.
The actress, who first entered the Star Wars universe at the young age of 18 with the release of The Phantom Menace in 1999, shared a humorous yet slightly awkward moment involving Prince Charles at the film's premiere.
During their meeting, King Charles, then the Prince of Wales, inquired if she had been part of the original Star Wars movies.
Natalie chuckled as she explained that she was merely 18 years old at the time.
Despite the slight awkwardness, she described the royal as very amiable.
When the host, Andy Cohen, questioned Natalie Portman about the controversy surrounding Omid Scobie's book on King Charles, she subtly implied that she did not believe the King harbored any discriminatory intentions.
Dismissing the unfounded allegations as originating from an unreliable source and echoing past accusations, Natalie referenced Meghan Markle's revelations in the Oprah interview.
She expressed her belief that King Charles meant no harm, emphasizing his pleasant demeanor.
Omid Scobie has since claimed that he wrote his book swiftly, despite initially announcing last July that he was working on a new book about the royal family.
In December of the same year, he revealed the book's title, “Endgame,” indicating a rapid and direct flow of information from Meghan's circle.
Following the Queen's passing, Omid postponed the book's release to incorporate these new details, with rumors suggesting he met with Meghan in Los Angeles hotels during the writing process.
According to recent reports, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may face exclusion from the royal family once Prince William ascends to the throne.
Express UK disclosed the future King's firm stance on the matter, asserting that business should proceed without the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
William is reportedly planning for his future reign and envisions no role for the Sussexes within the royal fold.
Despite potential concerns about media scrutiny, William remains resolute that Meghan and Harry should not be reintegrated into the family.
While Prince Charles holds onto hopes of reconciliation, primarily due to his paternal bond with Harry, senior royals are wary of the couple's declining popularity post-Megxit.
The apprehension stems from fears of public backlash and perceptions of weakness if they readmit the Sussexes after their contentious exit from royal duties.
