Queen Camilla visits set of raunchy hit show in tribute to close friend
EXPRESS
In a fitting tribute to her late friend, Dame Jilly Cooper, Queen Camilla travelled to Bristol on Monday to visit the set of Disney+'s Rivals as it films its second series. Following Dame Jilly's sad death back in October, the Queen shared a heartbreaking message to remember her "wonderfully witty and compassionate friend."
The Queen's outing today to visit the sets of the famously raunchy show saw her meet several members of the cast, including Alex Hassell (Rupert Campbell-Black), Aidan Turner (Declan O'Hara), Victoria Smurfit (Maud O'Hara), Bella Maclean (Taggie O'Hara) and Nafessa Williams (Cameron Cook).
Camilla, who arrived with her daughter, Laura Lopes, toured several of the TV show sets and used her visit to celebrate British television production and the youth opportunities the show has provided in the creative industries in the South West.
