According to Jon Hamm, meeting members of the royal family can be pretty stressful.
The actor came face-to-face with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the London premiere of Top Gun: Maverick earlier this month and has been vocal about what he was told to do when meeting them.
Per People, Hamm revealed on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon that there are "guidelines that are not so much guidelines as hard and fast rules that you are made to follow" when greeting a royal family member.
In a separate interview on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Hamm said, "It's a little anxiety-producing because they give you these rules that you're meant to sort of follow."
The 51-year-old then revealed what these rules include, saying, "You're meant to say, 'Your Royal Highness' — if they offer their name, then you can use their name, but you can't do it first. And you can't offer your hand, they have to offer their hand. Then you have to bow, but you can't bow too low."
Hamm added that while waiting for William and Kate to make their way to him, he was most worried about addressing them incorrectly.
