Miles Teller says he breached protocol when meeting Prince William and Kate Middleton: ‘Right off the bat I messed up’
Miles Teller said he made a breach of protocol when crossing paths with the Duke and Duchess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton.
The 35-year-old actor, appearing Wednesday on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, opened up about meeting the royal pair in London at a Royal Film Performance screening for his film Top Gun: Maverick this past May.
Teller, who played Lt. Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw in the film, said that he and his costars were given a list of ‘rules of dos and don’ts,’ joking, ‘There’s a lot of etiquette … and I kind of had a sheet so I wouldn’t mess it up.’

But Teller made a miscue, as he said, ‘Right off the bat I messed up: You’re not supposed to extend your hand right off the bat unless they do.’
‘But I felt the vibe, so I’m like “I’m going in, I’m going in.”‘
The Whiplash star credited the royal couple as being ‘very disarming’ in his meeting with them.
‘I was lost,’ he said. ‘In Prince William’s eyes … I mean, blue as the bluest ocean, Jimmy, what do you want? Bora Bora … and Kate is beautiful and very cordial and holds herself so well, yeah, regal … but with William I don’t know, I blacked out.’
