Emilia Clarke went down in tears when she met Beyoncé

Emilia Clarke "was too many drinks in" and cried the moment she met Beyoncé at an Oscars afterparty, she says.

Speaking to Graham Norton, the HBO show star said Beyoncé "got out of there very quickly" when she saw Clarke burst into tears at the sight of her and husband Jay Z.

"I did not expect to see them in the flesh. I wasn't expecting that at all, I was just amazed to be invited," Clarke said. "I was like, 'How did that happen?' When I met Queen Bey I was too many drinks in and started crying. It didn't go well. I think she got out of there very quickly!"
