If Kate Winslet<\/a> could meet King Charles<\/a> for the first time all over again, she might go with an outfit that maybe wasn\u2019t so\u2014transparent.\n<\/p>\n The actress was on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> on November 18 and spoke to the host about meeting the future king\u2014then Prince Charles\u2014while wearing a \u201ctransparent lace outfit\u201d to the premiere of the 1996 film Sense and Sensibility.\n<\/p>\n Kate Winslet at the ‘Sense and Sensibility’ premiere in February 1996.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n \u201cThe first time I met him\u2014oh my goodness,\u201d Winslet said on Tuesday. \u201cHe had come to support the royal premiere of Sense and Sensibility when I was 20. I sort of hadn\u2019t realized we were really going to meet him. So I forgot about the fact that I really was wearing a kind of transparent lace outfit.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cAnd thank God I\u2019d worn a coat because, as he\u2019s making his way toward me, I\u2019m like, \u2018Nipples! Nipples! Nipples!\u2019 Oh my God,\u201d she continued. \u201cAnd then someone just went, \u2018Coat!\u2019 and [I covered myself] and went, \u2018Your Majesty.\u2019\u201d\n<\/p>\n Kate Winslet in February 1996.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n Kate Winslet putting her coat on at the premiere.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n Since then, Winslet has met the King several times\u2014including this past June at St. James\u2019s Palace alongside Meryl Streep<\/a> and David Beckham<\/a>\u2014and was even asked to become one of the ambassadors for The King\u2019s Foundation, Charles\u2019s educational charity. Calling him \u201creally an extraordinary man,\u201d Winslet said, \u201cHe\u2019s very, very kind and extremely empathetic and very, very generous.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Prince Charles at the ‘Sense and Sensibility’ premiere in February 1996.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n Winslet told Kimmel about her encounter with the King this summer alongside Streep, saying, \u201cThere was a conversation about this. So Meryl and I, as we were walking to meet the King, she says to me, \u2018Do you think we have to curtsy?\u2019 And I said, \u2018Absolutely, we have to curtsy.\u2019 She was like, \u2018Okay, is it, like, a big curtsy? What do we do?\u2019 I said, \u2018I don\u2019t know. We\u2019ll just make the motion.\u2019 She was like, \u2018I don\u2019t know if we need to do that.\u2019 There was a big panic. We didn\u2019t know what the form was.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \u201cObviously, we had to curtsy,\u201d Winslet continued. \u201cDid I go first? I think I did. But then I\u2019m always trying to volunteer to go first because I feel like leadership is important and someone has to get it wrong, and it\u2019s usually me that does, so I don\u2019t mind taking the hit.\u201d\n<\/p>\n King Charles, David Beckham, Meryl Streep, and Kate Winslet.<\/p>\n Getty<\/p>\n Winslet said she was \u201cdelighted\u201d to become an ambassador for The King\u2019s Foundation, and she\u2019ll have another chance to rub shoulders with royalty on December 5, when she is a guest of honor at Kate Middleton<\/a>\u2019s annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Winslet is now an ambassador for The King\u2019s Foundation, King Charles\u2019s charity.Long before that, the actress met…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-143327","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
