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.

Camilla 'storms out of room' as King Charles 'goes on and on' about BBC actress' legs
Charles gave the complimen at a function - but it is said Camilla was unhappy he continued to talk about the star. The Queen consort allegedly stormed out of a function after the then Prince Charles kept "going on" about an actress' "very sexy legs," it has been revealed. Back when Charles was Prince of Wales, he had met Carli Norris, who starred in soaps EastEnders and Doctors on the BBC, after he watched her and co-stars in The Chiltern Hundreds in the West End. Charles talked to Carli following the performance, purportedly telling her: "You've got very sexy legs." Speaking in a podcast released on Tuesday, Carli said: "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'." But Charles, Camilla and some of the cast, including lead actor Edward Fox, then went out for dinner, during which Camilla "slapped her knife and fork down" and "left the room and stormed out", reports the Mirror. Carli, who was in Hollyoaks for nearly two years until her exit in late 2013, added: "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 had informed Carli, from Essex, about the episode the next day ahead of another performance of The Chiltern Hundreds, in which Carli played June Farrell, an attractive millionaire whose costume she says was merely a pair of hot pants.

Elisabeth, who portrayed Zara Carmichael in Doctors from 2009 to its finale last year, joked Carli should expect a damehood in the post following the encounter in the West End. This episode of the podcast also explored Carli's role in EastEnders as Belinda Peacock (the second youngest Slater sister), which she had in 2016. The actress was nominated for Funniest Female in the Inside Soap Awards for the role.
