<p id=”par-4_28″>On Nov. 18, Winslet was a guest on <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em> and relayed a story about when she met then-Prince Charles back in 1996 for the first time. </p>
<p id=”par-5_76″>She explained that he attended the premiere of her movie <em>Sense and Sensibility</em> in London. Winslet, who was 20 years old at the time, said that she didn’t think she would actually speak to the then-heir to the throne that night. For that reason, she didn’t put a ton of thought into her red carpet outfit and opted for something cute and sexy. She chose a black lace bodysuit that was made almost entirely out of see-through fabric.</p>
<p id=”par-6_33″>“I sort of hadn’t realized that we were really going to meet him,” she told Kimmel. “And so I forgot about the fact that I was wearing a kind of transparent lace outfit.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_38″>Winslet then recalled how she began to panic a bit when she realized she was about to be face-to-face with the royal, recalling, “As he’s making his way towards me, I’m like, ‘Nipples. Nipples. Nipples. Oh my god!’”</p>
<p id=”par-8_14″>Luckily, she had a jacket that she used to quickly cover up her top.</p>
<p id=”par-9_12″>“Thank god I’d worn a coat,” she said with a laugh. </p>

<p id=”par-10_37″>Even if Winslet hadn’t been able to cover up in time, her sexy attire wouldn’t have been a distraction for the king anyway, thanks to something his late father, Prince Philip, taught him a long time ago.</p>
<p id=”par-11_26″>Comedian Stephen Fry revealed that King Charles told him about the best advice Prince Philip ever gave him during an episode of<em> The Graham Norton Show</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-12_71″>“He did tell me — I think it’s OK to repeat this,” Fry said per <a href=”https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/1344968/prince-philip-prince-charles-stephen-fry-royal-family-graham-norton-show-spt” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Express</a>. “The then-Prince of Wales did tell me once that the best piece of advice his father had ever given him was: When you’re doing a lineup and there are women, always look only into their eyes. Don’t for a second let your eyes drop to their chest because that is when the photograph goes off.”</p>
<p id=”par-13_58″>Fry then talked about how Charles always used that piece of advice, and it helped out immensely when he met the Spice Girls in a lineup and Geri Halliwell (aka Ginger Spice) had on a revealing outfit. Fry pointed this out in a picture shown of the event where other men, except for King Charles, were “very distracted.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_19″>“And if you look, he’s not looking down,” Fry noted. “All the rest of us [boys] are looking down.”</p>
