Thompson gets top British award

-

LONDON (AP) — Actress Emma Thompson has received one of Britain’s highest awards from Prince William – and thought about giving him a kiss at the Buckingham Palace ceremony. Thompson received a damehood on Wednesday in recognitio­n for her splendid career, an event made special by the fact that it was given to her by William, a longtime friend.

“I love Prince William. I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other,” she says. “I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No don’t’!” Thompson was named for the female equivalent of a knighthood in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List in June.
