Prince William totally got Gary Oldman cracking up during his knighting ceremony! But what did Wills say??
In case you didn’t hear, the 67-year-old actor was awarded knighthood by the royal family for his services to drama on Wednesday. The huge honor came with a lavish ceremony, of course. But William apparently couldn’t keep his cheeky remarks to himself! While chatting to iTV post-ceremony, Gary said the Prince of Wales told him he was a “fan” of his Apple TV+ show Slow Horses, and added:
“I just want to give you a good wash [every time I see you on screen].”
LOLz!!
FYI, in the series, Gary plays the role of Jackson Lamb, who’s known for being a slob.
In response to the Prince’s quip, the actor hit back:
“Well, I think I’ve scrubbed up okay today.”
Ha! And he certainly did! He and his wife Gisele Schmidt looked amazing for the occasion!

In a video on Instagram, Gary described the knighthood moment as “very emotional” despite the giggles:
“We spoke for a minute, but I almost couldn’t find my voice. I think I feel very honored, very humbled and flattered, I think in equal measure. It compares to nothing else. It’s a singular event, that is what it is. I thought the Oscar was a big deal. No disrespect to the academy, but it sort of pales in comparison to this. It’s just been wonderful.”

Congratulations to Gary!
