Duchess of Cornwall Camilla Parker Bowles met The Crown actor who plays her real persona Emerald Fennell on International Women’s Day.
Emerald Fennell plays the role of the 74-year-old Queen consort in the popular Netflix show The Crown. The latter was the Prince Charles then-lover.
It was a light-hearted moment and they made jokes during the interaction as well.
“I was nervous I might be thrown in the Tower — but so far, so good,” Emerald Fennell said as quoted in the report.. “[Camilla] has been in the spotlight for a long time and has always weathered it with grace.”
Camilla Parker Bowles also spoke highly of the Oscar award winner.
“For me, it’s very reassuring to know that if I should fall off my perch at any moment, my fictional alter ego is here to take over,” Parker-Bowles quipped. “So, Emerald — be prepared!”
