A picture of Prince William meeting Phoebe Dynevor, Ayo Edebiri, Sophie Wilde, and Mia McKenna-Bruce at the BAFTA Awards has completely taken over my timeline.

The awkward picture quickly went viral...

"Is there a moment when you suddenly realized, 'I’m doing this. I'm really doing it'?" Will asked.

"Right now, now's the one," Ayo and the other women responded with laughter.

"We're four young women, and women of color, of different backgrounds. That, to me, is really encouraging," Ayo continued. "A lot of progress has been made, and there's more to do, and we're gonna do it."

Ultimately, it appears just to be an extremely awkward photo op that should never have happened to begin with.
