Receiving her damehood was a memorable moment forEmma Thompson– for more than one reason!
“Exactly!” Thompson replied. “And it’s a little bit of a nipple moment and you go, ‘Gosh, I wasn’t expecting that.’ ”
She added that there’s a second pin that goes lower. “And I’m pretty low slung these days, so both times it hurt!” she quipped.
Thompson added, “I made a very loud and inappropriate noise in Buckingham Palace. It’s not a surprise, is it?”

“They gave me such hell,” the actress said, recalling thebacklash she received onlinefor the footwear deemed too casual for the occasion.
Thompson previously defended the shoes on the podcastMy Dad Wrote a Porno.
“They were posh trainers,” she said.“Of course you have to understand as well as not listening to any f—ing podcast ever, well yours obviously, but mostly not. I don’t do social media so I have no idea when they say, ‘Oh my god, you caused a stir.’ I go, “Why?’ ”

While she didn’t mention getting any disapproving looks from the royals during her visit to Buckingham Palace, Thompson mentioned that her casual outfit choice at the Cannes Film Festival one time landed her in hot water, as it isnotoriously strict on its dress code.
“I got into terrible trouble wearing jeans to Cannes once,” Thompson said on the podcast. “I was wearing a very sparkly top look, if you’re wearing a sparkly top it doesn’t matter what you’re wearing underneath it. Their fashion police went, ‘Oh my god! What is she doing? She is destroying the whole Cannes experience! Everyone is coming to see the beautiful Cannes actresses all dressed up looking gorgeous and look what she is doing, she’s wrecking the whole thing!’ ”

She also made good use of the investiture ceremony toslip in a bold request.
“I lovePrince William,” she told reporters about theroyal father of three. “I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other. I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No, don’t!’ “
