Camilla 'stormed out' after Charles 'went on and on' about BBC actress' legs
Camilla reportedly stormed out of an event after King Charles wouldn't stop commenting on an actress' "very sexy legs".
The then Prince Charles of Wales, had met Carli Norris, known for her roles in EastEnders and Doctors, after watching her perform in The Chiltern Hundreds in London's West End. After the show, Charles complimented Carli on her legs, telling her: "You've got very sexy legs."
Carli recalled the incident in a recent podcast, saying: "Prince Charles was walking around, introducing himself to everybody and he came up to me and he shook my hand and he went 'You've got very sexy legs'. I went 'oh thank you, your highness'."
However, during a dinner with Charles, Camilla, and some of the cast, including lead actor Edward Fox, Camilla reportedly became frustrated with Charles' continued comments about Carli's legs. Carli, who starred in Hollyoaks until late 2013, said: "Apparently, Prince Charles was going on and on about my legs so much that eventually Camilla slapped her knife and fork down and said 'oh for goodness sake, Chas, will you stop going on about that gal's legs? !' She left the room and stormed out."
Edward informed Carli about the incident the next day before another performance of The Chiltern Hundreds, where Carli played June Farrell, a millionaire dressed only in hot pants, reports the Mirror.
In a candid chat on the podcast Chicken Soap for the Soul, hosted by former Doctors star Elisabeth Dermot Walsh, actress Carli revealed she was stunned to be included among 100 "national treasures" at a Buckingham Palace event for the Queen's Jubilee. She originally assumed it was a "joke" but ended up attending with her daughter in 2022.
Carli remarked, "When you think of national treasures, you think of Judi Dench, don't you, and Elton John... I am not a national treasure," highlighting that she was chosen by a committee. Jokingly, she suggested her invitation might have stemmed from Prince Charles seeing her in 2016 during a West End performance, musing: "I can only imagine, Elisabeth Dermot Walsh, that Prince Charles has been following my career and he is the one that wanted me sitting near him for his mummy's Jubilee, that's what I can imagine."
Notably, Charles ascended to the throne later after Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
During the same episode, Elisabeth quipped that Carli should be on the lookout for a damehood after such an esteemed event. The conversation also touched on Carli's stint in EastEnders as Belinda Peacock, who is the second youngest Slater sister, a role she took on back in 2016 when she was up for Funniest Female at the Inside Soap Awards.

River Island launches €59 version of Kate Spade's sold out €475 pizza bag
This summer, high streets are being taken over by bedazzled and beaded handbags, and we're huge fans of River Island's latest collection of novelty handbags. With the surge in 'Ibiza fashion', it's no surprise to see this accessory style gaining popularity, but we adore how certain retailers are taking a more playful approach. Thanks to designer brands like Kate Spade and Anya Hindmarch, food, drink and branded handbags have become somewhat trendy, and River Island is one of the first affordable high street brands to hop on this trend. From 7up to baked beans and blueberry matcha, the retailer has truly gone all out with its new range. However, one handbag in particular caught our attention for being an incredible designer alternative. The bag in question is the Beige Premium Beaded Pizza Shoulder Bag, priced at€59. Drawing inspiration from Kate Spade's now sold-out €475 pizza handbag and Judith Leiber's €6.5k pepperoni pizza clutch, River Island's offering is far more affordable, but still just as fun and novel, reports the Mirror. The triangular shaped crossbody bag features detailed beadwork that depicts tomatoes, mushrooms and veggies, and of course, some hanging beads to represent a pizza slice cheese pull. And if you're pondering how to wear this, we suggest over a simple summer co-ord or midi dress to add a little pop of fun to your warm-weather looks. Fans have been raving about the new collection on social media, with one fan declaring it "my dream handbag collection" and another commenting "they're giving Anya Hindmarch vibes".
