Henry Winkler was left stunned when he was told the Queen wanted to meet him during a trip to Ascot - and the Hollywood legend was left even more surprised by her request
It's only natural to feel a tad jittery at the thought of meeting a member of the Royal family. After all, it's not every day you get to mingle with someone who resides in a palace, has an unconventional day job, and belongs to a societal elite that many can only dream of joining.
Speaking to PEOPLE, Henry recounted how he met the monarch and her husband during a tour of Ireland, Scotland, and England while promoting his memoir Being Henry. "We were invited to Ascot, the royal races. You heard about it in My Fair Lady, you hear about it all through history, and we were invited," he excitedly told the publication, before revealing he had sourced a "top hat and tails" specifically for the prestigious event.
"Then all of a sudden, a rumour or a buzz goes through the room. 'The Queen wants to meet Henry.' So we walk down onto the paddock onto the green, and all of a sudden these 12 men in forest green cutaways march out," he recounted, reports the Express. The actor cherishes the heartwarming moment with the Queen, which added a special touch to his memorable trip. Henry also visited Bristol during his UK stay, where he recorded a new voiceover for DIRECTV's "For The Birds" campaign.
