Ben Affleck thinks Prince George gave his son a cold, so sadly our nations must return to war
Ben Affleck's son got a cold earlier this year so, understandably, he's blaming the royal family.
According to People, Affleck brought his children to an indoor play center in London while filming the new Justice League film. While there, his children happened to meet and play with Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Sounds like quite the honor, right? Wrong. Affleck's son, Sam, became stricken with a cold shortly after their meeting, leading his father to believe the future King of England gave it to him.

Affleck, for what it's worth, didn't even realize that his children were playing with royalty. Apparently, the actor and director only began to suspect something after noticing how odd the other "parents" in the play center looked.
"They were all very well dressed and they had earpieces and I thought, ‘For a kids’ place this is tight security!’ I was the very last person to realize that Prince George and Princess Charlotte were in there playing with my kid," said Affleck.
