Warning: spoilers for The Fall Guy ahead
Prince William accidentally dropped a major movie spoiler while meeting the star of a new blockbuster release.
The future King of England, 42, was filmed meeting British actress Hannah Waddingham in London, where he complimented her on her role in the Ryan Gosling-led movie, The Fall Guy, which hit cinemas in late April.
During their brief encounter, William told Waddingham she played a “good baddie”, referencing a plot twist involving her character Gail Meyer.
“Congratulations on The Fall Guy, I thought you were brilliant. Very good baddie. You make a good baddie,” the Prince of Wales laughed, prompting Waddingham to playfully tell him off.

“Spoiler alert!” Waddingham, 49, responded. “Don’t say that!”
“Oh sorry, I can’t say that,” William added. “(I) take it away,” he laughed.
While The Fall Guy came out two months ago, it’s not yet finished its cinema run.
At the end of the film, which is based around a movie set, stunt man Colt (Gosling) and on-off director girlfriend Jody (Emily Blunt) are stunned to discover executive producer Gail (Waddingham) was at the centre of a plot to pin a host of criminal misdeeds on Colt.

The debut event aimed to celebrate the impact finalists in the Earthshot Prize awards have had on combating climate change.
The Earthshot Prize awards were launched by William and Sir David Attenborough in 2020, with five awards presented to individuals or organisations who significantly help the environment.
The award ceremony has been held in a different city each year since its inception, kicking off in London in 2021.
It was then hosted in Boston in 2022, Singapore in 2023 and is set to be held in South Africa this November.
