Pop star meets king’s wife: singer Dua Lipa (27) and Camilla (75), wife of King Charles III. (73), attended the Booker Literature Awards ceremony in London. Pictures show the two deep in conversation. But what Camilla talked about with another lady might have been even more exciting…

According to media reports, the king’s wife was also spotted chatting with actress Natascha McElhone (52) at the event. She is said to play Penny Knatchbull (69) in the previously controversial fifth season of the Netflix series “The Crown”. There has already been speculation in the British media as to whether Prince Philip (1921-2021), played by Jonathan Pryce (75), is accused of having a relationship with her in the series …

Knatchbull is considered a close friend of the entire royal family. The fact that Prince Philip was shown on the TV show just a few weeks after the death of Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) was described as “tasteless”. The new episodes of “The Crown”, which will be shown from November 9th, are not the only reason why they are already being criticized. The episodes are meant to show some of the most intimate aspects of Princess Diana’s (1961-1997) shattered marriage to Charles and could potentially damage the monarch’s reputation…

King consort Camilla doesn’t seem to be affected by the hustle and bustle surrounding the series. According to the Daily Mail, she beamed while chatting with Natascha McElhone ahead of the awards ceremony. Her sister Annabel Elliot (73) was also at Camilla’s side at the event.

The Queen Consort, who wore a black dress with lace details at the event, then presented author Shehan Karunatilaka (47, “The Seven Moons Of Maali Almeida”) with the “Booker Prize”. The ceremony was Camilla’s second solo royal appearance since taking on her new role as King Consort following the Queen’s death on September 8.
