Lily Collins was quite the cool kid and apparently used to hang out with the royals on the regular 💅

Meeting the British Royal family would be a nerve-wracking affair for anyone, not least because there are so many rules and protocols to take into consideration. Needless to say, there’s a lot to take into consideration – all of which is difficult enough to remember as an adult, nevermind as a young ‘un. Actress Lily Collins paid no heed to any of it though. Recently recounting the story of when she first met Prince Charles and Princess Diana to James Corden on The Late Late Show, Lily laughed that it definitely didn’t go to plan and she “really threw propriety to the wind” as Buzzfeed put it.
“Lily, I want to talk to you about this photo,” Corden says to the actress before holding up an image of her as a toddler alongside her father, her mother, Princess Diana, and Prince Charles. Seen handing a bouquet of flowers over to the Princess of Wales, the whole thing looks very angelic – like butter wouldn’t melt. Lily was much more troublesome than she appears in the photo though and immediately after the snap was taken, she apparently tried to snatch the flowers right back for herself.
