Queen Camilla encounters author Jilly Cooper, noted for her steamy novels, who fashioned one of her characters as a lady's man similar to her former partner
In an unexpected twist of British high society, it has been revealed that Dame Jilly Cooper and Queen Elizabeth II share a unique bond, beyond their close proximity in Berkshire.
Dame Jilly's iconic character, Rupert Campbell-Black, was reportedly inspired by her ex-husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, who shares a long-standing relationship with the Queen. It is believed that the character's charm and charisma, as portrayed in her books, bear a striking resemblance to Parker Bowles.
The Queen's Reading Room, a charity that celebrates and promotes the transformative power of books, has been actively promoting literature in the UK and beyond. The online version of the Queen's Reading Room has reached over 12 million people in 183 countries.
At a recent literary event held at Chatsworth House, the Queen's Reading Room Festival, Dame Jilly Cooper had the honour of meeting Her Majesty. The Queen warmly greeted Dame Jilly with a kiss on each cheek, signifying their mutual affection for each other.
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, was also present at the event, expressing her admiration for Dame Jilly's bonkbuster books, including the raunchy Disney TV series of her novel Rivals. Alex Hassell, who plays the character Rupert Campbell-Black in the series, has certainly done justice to the role.
The Queen's former husband and daughter, Laura Lopes, were invited to a party at Dame Jilly's Gloucestershire home with the cast of the TV series based on her novel Rivals. This indicates the ongoing support and appreciation the royal family has for Dame Jilly's work.
It is noteworthy that Andrew Parker Bowles and the Queen remain good friends, as evidenced by their social interactions. This camaraderie could explain why they met at one of Dame Jilly Cooper's events, as such occasions often gather familiar acquaintances within British high society.
Dame Jilly has been fortunate to have the support and appreciation of the royal family for her work. This literary connection between Dame Jilly Cooper and the Queen is indeed a fascinating tale in the annals of British literature.
