• During a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Olivia Colman described her first meeting with Prince William.

• Colman plays Will's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, in Seasons 3 and 4 of Netflix's hit historical drama The Crown.

• The actress said that the encounter "didn't go very well" and that William gave her a "firm no" when she asked if he had seen The Crown.
