In a moment that will surely go down in the annals of awkward celebrity meetings, The Bear’s very own Ayo Edebiri stole the show with her hilariously expressive face while hobnobbing with royalty. Picture this: Ayo, alongside her co-stars Phoebe Dynevor, Sophie Wilde, and Mia McKenna-Bruce, found themselves face to face with none other than Prince William himself. Cue the royal chaos!
As the quartet, all vying for the prestigious EE Rising Star Award at the 2024 BAFTAs, stood before His Highness, the atmosphere crackled with anticipation. And then it happened. Prince William, in his regal wisdom, posed a question that would forever etch this encounter into the viral hall of fame: “Was there a moment in your careers when you felt like you’ve truly made it?”
Without missing a beat, Mia, the victor of the evening, chimed in with a resounding “Yeah, now!” Ayo, with her signature wit, couldn’t resist adding, “Is now the one? I think now might be the one.” Oh, the sheer brilliance!
In a twist that left even the royal entourage in stitches, Prince William turned to Mia and remarked, “It looks like you had a lot of fun all the way through it.” Given the nature of Mia’s film “How To Have Sex,” you can imagine the collective gasps followed by uncontrollable giggles. Bravo, Your Highness, for keeping it real!
As the encounter drew to a close, Prince William confessed, “I’ve got a lot of films to catch up on. Normally I get quite ahead of the award ceremony and I get to see quite a few of them. I haven’t managed to get that many through, so now I’ve got a list.” Oh, to be a fly on the wall when Prince William dives into that movie marathon!
And thus, in a whirlwind of royal banter and Ayo’s unforgettable facial expressions, history was made. Long live the Queen… and the meme-worthy moments!
Love it when context proves that Prince William is a nice guy and they only way to get to him is to spread misinformation❤️
