King Charles recently expressed his emotion at one of Queen Camilla’s latest projects.

British actor, Damian Lewis, told the King he had watched his wife’s documentary on ITV and that he had been moved by it.

“It’s very moving, isn’t it?” Charles said, according to The Mirror. “I think BAFTA are interested in it.”

Chatting to two of the makers of the Queen’s programme, Kerene Barefield and Naveed Chowdhary-Flatt from Love Monday Productions, Charles said: “I was moved to tears.” when he watched a preview of it in Scotland. He added: “I really am very proud.”

Queen Camilla talked animatedly with actress Emily Mortimer about her mother Penelope, whom she knows personally.

“Penny sends her love,” Mortimer told her. When Her Majesty enquired about how she was, the actress laughed and said: “Oh, she’s still smoking as much as ever.”

“Oh she’s still on the fags!” laughed the Queen. “Yes she’s still on the fags!” giggled Mortimer.

Speaking to legendary director Sir Ridley Scott about his new blockbuster film Gladiator II, Camilla gave her apologies for not attending the premiere in London later that evening due to her recovery from a chest infection.

She said: “I am so sorry I’m not coming tonight. I’d be coughing throughout it.” The director clasped his hands and told her not to worry at all. The Queen said she had felt “absolutely rotten” last week but was definitely “on the mend”.
