A ROYAL DECISION

-

Emilia Clarke ditched a screening of Solo: A Star Wars Story so she could watch the royal wedding.

The British actress portrays Qi’ra in the latest of the Star Wars anthology films, with the movie telling the story of a young Han Solo and his adventures with his Wookiee sidekick Chewbacca.

Clarke has attended a number of Solo premières of late, but instead of attending a special screening on Saturday, she decided to watch Prince Harry wed Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on TV.

“I had a screening of the Star Wars movie I’m in, for my friends and family on Saturday,” she said during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday. “I sort of didn’t get my dates right, so I thought no one would turn up, then they did. So, they watched the movie and I watched the wedding.”

Clarke also spoke about how hard it has been to keep secrets about the Solo movie and the final season of Game of Thrones, in which she plays Daenerys Targaryen, to herself. And even though she thinks she knows how the hit program will conclude, she can’t be sure the producers have divulged every last detail to her yet.

“I know everything, kind of. I know enough. I can’t say anything. I think (the producers are) fooling us, I think they are doing loads of things and they’re not telling us because they don’t trust us. And rightly so,” she smiled.
