United Kingdom, Oct. 20 -- Vanessa Williams says King Charles came across as "down to earth" when they met.

The former Desperate Housewives star had a brush with royalty at last year's Royal Variety Show in London. Reflecting on her time in the British capital-where she's lived for the past two years - the American actress called meeting the "lovely" monarch the highlight of her UK chapter so far.

Exclusively talking to BANG Showbiz at the Variety Club Showbusiness Awards held at The Londoner Hotel, Leicester Square, London, on Sunday night (19.10.25), she said: "I did the Royal Variety Show last year, and after, we got a chance to meet him. "

Asked what he was like, she replied:" Lovely, down to earth, personable, one-on-one."
