Sara Ali Khan meets Henry Cavill at Royal Ascot
Sara posted pictures from the Royal Ascot, writing, “A royal affair with @longines.” The pictures show her dressed in a formal ivory skirt suit with a dainty fascinator. She carried a matching clasp purse to complete the look. The event has already made waves, as King Charles III, Queen Camilla, the Prince of Wales, Prince William, and the Princess of Wales, Catherine, were among those who attended the iconic horse racing event in Berkshire, England.
Fans couldn’t keep calm as one of them commented, “Beautiful Pataudi Princess.” Another wrote, “Fitting for my Princess.” One shocked fan wrote, “Is that…Henry Cavill???” while others confirmed it was indeed him. Some fans mistook him for a ‘lookalike’ and had to be corrected. “Looking Royal Indeed,” commented one fan, while another excited fan wrote, “Pataudi princess x Superman!!!”
Longlines’ social media page also posted Henry and Sara’s pictures, writing, “An expression of timeless elegance at Royal Ascot.” “Sara?” wrote one surprised fan under the post. “Henry X Sara (fire emojis),” wrote another. “Did not expect Henry to reprise his role as Humphrey In Stardust but he looks better now,” thought one fan. “This is what a proper gentleman should look like. I hope he has his Superman on underneath,” joked another.
