Henry Winkler has gushed about meeting Queen Camilla.
The 78-year-old actor attended Royal Ascot at Ascot Racecourse, Berkshire, with his wife Stacey earlier this year and was shocked when he received a request to meet with Camilla, who is a big fan of his children's books, the 'Detective Duck' series.
He told PEOPLE: "We were invited to Ascot, the royal races. You heard about it in 'My Fair Lady', you hear about it all through history, and we were invited.
"[King Charles and Queen Camilla] arrive[d] in an open carriage pulled by these incredible horses, then we have a three-course lunch.
“Then all of a sudden, a buzz goes through the room. ‘The Queen wants to meet Henry.’ So we walk down onto the paddock onto the green, and all of a sudden these 12 men in forest green cutaways march out. She comes in white in the middle of them and walks up. I tip my hat, and I talk to her like she was my Aunt Liz. There is no disconnect. There's no royalty. There is just this lovely woman who knows about my children's books, the 'Detective Duck' series."
Meanwhile, Henry shot to fame Arthur 'Fonzie' Fonzarell on the iconic TV show 'Happy Days' between 1974 and 1984 and recently admitted he felt lost when he tried to move on with his career.
He told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I was in psychic pain. Terrified of making the wrong next choice. Terrified of not being asked to do much other than Fonzie. I’d literally never considered a plan B."
Henry now has a reputation for being one of the nicest men in Hollywood, and the actor has confessed to being grateful for all of his success.
He shared: "I have to tell you the truth. It’s not a matter of being nice. I am grateful. Grateful that I’m on this earth, that I get to sit out there and play with my dogs, that I get to see my family, that I get to do these amazing, wonderful things."
Asked what advice he would give to young actors, Henry replied: "Be honest about your talent. Train it. Work on yourself so that your courage is at a very high quotient. And when the time is right, pack clean underwear and walk out the door."
