But during his most recent trip to Britain, the Argo star revealed that his youngest son had a brush with two real-life royals.

Appearing on the Graham Norton show, the 44-year-old joked that his youngest son, Samuel, had caught a cold after playing with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

A regal encounter: During his most recent trip to Britain, Ben Affleck revealed that his youngest son had a brush with two real-life royals

In Friday night's installment of the chat show, the actor recalls how during a trip to London he took his son to an indoor play park that was being frequented by the two young royals.

Recalling one very wet day during the trip, Ben said: 'When it was raining I took my youngest to one of those kid’s indoor play parks. 

'It was pretty empty and then I noticed this weird vibe from the other grownups. They were all very well dressed and they had earpieces and I thought, "For a kids’ place this is tight security!"'

Sheer luck: The actor recall the story during his appearance on Friday's Graham Norton show, revealing a trip to a indoor play park resulted in the royal playdate

Laughing at the thought, he added: 'I was the very last person to realise that Prince George and Princess Charlotte were in there playing with my kid.'

Though it was a truly memorable moment it seems that the impromptu royal play day left Samuel a little worse for wear, with Ben adding: 'I can now tell him that he got a cold from the King of England!'

Samuel is Ben's youngest child with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner; the film star's also have two daughters: Violet, 10, and seven-year-old Seraphina.

He said: 'I noticed this weird vibe from the other grownups. They were all very well dressed and they had earpieces and I thought, "For a kids’ place this is tight security!"'

Was it really them? Laughing at the thought, he added: 'I was the very last person to realise that Prince George and Princess Charlotte were in there playing with my kid.'

Be the cream of the crop in Kate's See by Chloe dress

The Royal tour of Canada rolls on and when it comes to the Duchess of Cambridge's fashion choices, we'd say it's been a success so far.

And while Kate has stuck to some old favorites like Jenny Packham, Alexander McQueen and her Penelope Chilvers boots, she has also added new labels like Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, CH Carolina Herrera and Sentaler to her wardrobe. That's a lot of packing!

Today the Duchess and her adorable family attended a children’s party at British Columbia's Government House and once again she nailed it in this ever so gorgeous cream dress by See by Chloé.

We think this may be another new label for Kate and it's a stylish choice. We love the frilled neckline, cuffs and pointelle knit bodice to which she has added a belt, which works to accentuate her already tiny waist.

The great news is that it's available to buy now at SAKS so click (right) to snap it up before the Kate effect takes hold. Or get the look with our edit of similar ivory frocks below.

'I can now tell him that he got a cold from the King of England!': Though it was a memorable moment it seems that the impromptu royal play day left Samuel a little worse for wear

The Batman Vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice star and the Alias actress split in June 2015, but have remained cordial.

The couple have even prompted rumours of a reconciliation during recent months, after Jennifer headed to England at the same time as Ben.

A source told TMZ'Jennifer followed Ben to England and the trip has given her a whole new outlook on their future. 

The family: Samuel is Ben's youngest child with his estranged wife Jennifer Garner; the film star's also have two daughters: Violet, 10, and seven-year-old Seraphina

'She still feels conflicted, and she's only telling close friends that she's started to open up to the idea that they could get back together. She thinks they have a long road ahead of them, but Ben is already proving to her that he's committed to changing.' 

And while he's busy promoting his new film, The Accountant, which sees him play a math savant on the wrong side of the law, Ben revealed he's terrible with numbers.

The star explained he found himself lost when it came to helping out with his daughter's maths homework, saying: 

In good company: while he's busy promoting his new film, The Accountant, which sees him play a math savant on the wrong side of the law, Ben revealed he's terrible with numbers.

'No, not at all. I’m pushing my luck with my daughter’s 5th grade homework. 

'The director insisted the numbers were exactly right and I defy any one person to solve the maths in that movie!'

Fans can see the whole of Ben's chat on The Graham Norton Show, BBC One, Friday at 10.35pm.
