After Kate, 34, watched Joanne, 35, film a scene with her costar Michelle Dockery — who portrays Lady Mary Crawley on Downton — Prince William's wife admitted she thought it was funny to be standing in Lady Mary's bedroom, a set she'd previously only seen on TV.

"I said, ‘Yeah, not many people get to come in Lady Mary's bedroom,'" Joanne told late night host Conan O'Brien of her response. "And then I was like, ‘Oh my God. What have I just said?' I've just said something that could be taken really the wrong way… and I thought, ‘Do I say? Do I draw attention to it?'"
