Emma Thompson Recieves Royal Damehood, Wears Sneakers

CNN reports Emma Thompson threw royal protocol to the wind by wearing white sneakers to Buckingham Palace before reportedly asking Prince William for a kiss. The outspoken actress and writer opted for a casual look Wednesday night as she was named a Dame Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire . Her next attempt to break with tradition was less successful, however, as she was reportedly rebuffed by Prince William, who was conducting the ceremony.
