We have the evidence–Johnny Depp meets royalty at the ALICE IN WONDERLAND premiere
For all those who were unable to watch the green carpet premiere of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland live on the Zone, we offer a screencap of the memorable moment when Johnny Depp was greeted by His Royal Highness Prince Charles inside the Odeon Theatre. Although Johnny had told a reporter earlier in the week that he would probably be so nervous at the Royal Premiere that he would spend the evening “hiding in a broom closet,” he stood between co-stars Mia Wasikowska (Alice) and Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen) and, when his turn arrived, successfully exchanged several sentences with the Prince of Wales.

Proud mother Helena Bonham Carter pulled out her cell phone to snap pictures when, at the conclusion of the reception line, six-year-old Billy Ray Burton stepped forward to present the Duchess of Cornwall with an enormous bouquet of roses, a task the young man handled with considerable poise and grace. The royal couple did not merely make an appearance, but stayed to watch the screening of Alice in Wonderland.
The Zone thanks AnaMaria for sharing her screencap and Ustream for the live video feed. To see a photo of Johnny with his co-stars Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Mia Wasikowska, all looking fabulous, CLICK HERE; thanks to Alice Springs for the photo.
