21 Iconic Photos Of Celebrities Meeting Royals

21 Iconic Photos Of Celebrities Meeting Royals

We can't help but feel a little bit excited every time a celebrity meets a member of the royal family. Why? Perhaps it comes from witnessing two ordinarily separate worlds colliding, or possibly, it's the sense that when stars come face-to-face with royalty, they become just like us.

Take, for example, Beyoncé's 2019 rendezvous with Meghan Markle. It's an extremely rare occasion that we ever get to see the regal songstress look so wonder-struck, and it was a moment which proved to be oddly heartwarming in pictures.

And Beyoncé's not the only one, from Geri Halliwell's unforgettable expression when meeting Prince Charles to Reese Witherspoon's awestruck face in the presence of Kate Middleton, the following photos prove that when it comes to meeting royalty, celebrities aren't that different from the rest of us.

Scroll on to see some of the most unforgettable photos of celebrities meeting royals.
