On February 21, local time, William, Prince of Wales, wore the Order of Emilia Clarke (member, abbreviation: MBE) in Windsor Castle, and Jennifer Clarke, the mother of the British actress, also enjoyed the same treatment.
When she was worn by the prince, the 37-year-old Emilia smiled brightly, and this smile is familiar to fans and has become her signature.
Emilia is best known for her role as Daenerys Targaryen in the hit TV series Game of Thrones, and "Dragon Mother" has almost become synonymous with her.
In the play, she overcomes various hardships and becomes the "queen of the generation", while in real life she is also not so smooth sailing and is plagued by serious health problems.
Emilia suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 25 and 27, from which she nearly died. After that, Emilia and her mom set up a charity dedicated to helping those who had suffered brain injuries, focusing on patients after they were discharged from the hospital. And because of their outstanding performance, the mother and daughter were rewarded by the prince.
Despite being a more serious ceremony, Emilia kept her smile on her face the whole time.
It is reported that William is a fan of "Game of Thrones", and he will be very happy to meet "Dragon Mother".
It's not the first time Emilia has met the royal family face-to-face, she was invited to Buckingham Palace 6 years ago, and she also met Prince William at that time, but she forgot some "palace etiquette" due to nervousness, and forgot to address him as "Your Highness" when greeting William.
After the ceremony, standing in the courtyard of Windsor Castle, the mother and daughter of Clark were interviewed and revealed their communication with William.
I think I underestimated the magical nature of the place and the magic of the whole ritual. His Royal Highness William was so delightful and made us feel so comfortable. ”
In addition, Emilia also talked about her current work and is working on several new works, including a film about Oscar Wilde's wife, Constance Lloyd, "I play Oscar Wilde's wife, but we still don't know a lot about her," Emilia said. "
William and Kate's official social media accounts** show some footage from the ceremony, and one scene is easily impressive.
Dressed in an ivory suit, Emilia walked at the front of the crowd and looked very young, like a smart and lively girl in her early 20s.
This may have stemmed from Emilia's petite size, especially after emaciation, which made it feel more like a young girl.
However, judging from the close-up, Emilia is really not so young, not only the wrinkles on her face are particularly obvious, but her hair is also a little gray, plus her face is thin, and her mouth looks extraordinarily big when she laughs.
But in any case, "Dragon Mother" presents a very natural and authentic side, which is really much better than those "silicone faces" with no wrinkles and no expressions.
