Actor and social activist Emma Watson, 36 years old, shared a meaningful occasion with Britain’s Prince William and actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
According to U.S. entertainment media PEOPLE and other foreign outlets on the 23rd, local time, Emma Watson attended the Royal Foundation’s ‘United for Wildlife’ Business Forum, held as part of the ‘London Climate Action Week’ on June 22, illuminating the event.
At the event, Emma Watson joined Prince William and Benedict Cumberbatch on stage for an in-depth discussion about the natural world and our shared responsibility to protect it.
Taking the microphone, Emma Watson stated, “Storytelling holds immense power,” and added, “The narratives brands convey, their transparency, and how they address climate issues are crucial—especially for younger generations,” drawing applause for her conviction.
Notably, Emma Watson also revealed a humorous anecdote from her ‘Harry Potter’ filming days, turning the venue into a sea of laughter.
She recalled discovering men with long telephoto lenses gathered outside her living room years ago, thinking, “Finally, the day has come… to the world,” as she mistook them for paparazzi.
She continued, “I tried to sneak out through a different path to avoid the photographers, only to realize they were not there for me but to capture a rare bird, the ‘Red kite,’ that had appeared in our backyard,” sparking uproarious laughter.
Emma Watson, who gained global acclaim as Hermione Granger in the ‘Harry Potter’ film series, continues to spread positive influence beyond her acting career by advocating for climate change response, gender equality, and other social issues. Now in her mid-30s with elegant beauty, reactions noting the passage of time have followed her.
In 2014, she was appointed as a UN Goodwill Ambassador for Women and led the ‘HeForShe’ campaign, urging men’s participation in gender equality. In 2019, she joined efforts to establish a legal advisory hotline fund for women victims of workplace sexual harassment, continuing her meaningful endeavors.
