This Isn't Mark Hamill's First Run-In With The Royal Family!

Shortly before the Platinum Jubilee celebrations began, Mark Hamill replied to a tweet that had been posted in early May. The tweet showed the cast of “The Empire Strikes Back” meeting with Prince Margaret. A young Mark Hamill can be seen with his eyes cast down to the floor as he stands beside Billy Dee Williams, who plays Lando Calrissian.

“Billy Dee Williams made Mark Hamill think he would go to jail if he looked Princess Margaret in the eyes,” the post read. “Before the cast met the Princess at the London premiere of The Empire Strikes Back, Williams told Hamill that holding direct eye contact with British royalty was punishable with a prison sentence.” The post was credited to Cracked.com.
