On Tuesday, Duchess Camilla Parker Bowels got to physically see Emerald Fennell, the Actress who plays her in The crown; a popular Netflix show about Queen Elizabeth. The Duchess of Cornwall came across the talented actress at the Women of the World Festival yesterday which was organized in commemoration of International Women’s Day.
Camilla Meets Her “Fictional Alter Ego”
Although Duchess Camilla has never met Emerald physically, the two women were seen conversing and exchanging pleasantries at the event. And in her speech at the event, the Duchess teased her guests that Emerald could complete her speech if she were to “fall off her perch”.

She said “It is reassuring to know that, if I should fall off my perch at any moment, my fictional alter ego is here to take over – so, Emerald, be prepared!” Emerald Fennell, 36, plays the role of a young Camilla Parker Bowles in the third and fourth seasons of the Netflix show.
Speaking about her chance meeting with the Duchess, the award-winning actress said “It was absolutely delightful. She is such an impressive person, it was fittingly nice to meet her today on International Women’s Day because she does so much for so many particularly female-centred charities.
“I was nervous I might be thrown in the tower but so far so good.” Emerald added “She’s been in the spotlight for a long time and has always weathered it with a lot of grace and good humour” Despite becoming a subject of intense public attention for several years due to her role in the divorce between Prince Charles and the charming Princess Diana, many royal sources claim that Camilla has a great personality which is a far cry from what a section of the public think of her.
However, the Duchess has continued to rake in more public appearances in the last few months since she was publicly backed by Queen Elizabeth to become Queen Consort once Prince Charles ascends the throne.
Before now, the Duchess was considered by many Brits as arguably the most hated woman in the entire country.
