King Charles raves about “sexy legs” to Camilla is sour

A royal faux pas with a piquant aftermath: at a dinner together, Camilla, today’s queen, is said to be torn patient thread. The reason was her husband, then Prince Charles. The current king of England apparently came to an end to compliments to an actress.

The scene took place after a theater performance in London’s West End. Charles had visited the play “The Chiltern Hundreds” and then got into conversation with actress Carli Norris-known from British TV formats such as “Eastenders” and “Doctors”. What he told her is now legendary: “You have very sexy legs.”

Norris himself remembers the encounter in the podcast “Chicken Soap for the Soul”, moderated by Elisabeth Dermot Walsh: “Prince Charles went around, introduced himself to everyone, came to me, shook my hand and said: ‘You have very sexy legs.’ I replied: ‘Oh, thank you, your highness.’ “

But what started as a polite-flirting small talk is said to have escalated at the table together in the evening. At the dinner with parts of the ensemble, including drama icon Edward Fox, Charles – says Norris – apparently continued to say continuously over her legs. So much that Camilla, irritated to angered, laid down her cutlery, lost uprising and patience: “Oh my kindness, Chas, finally stop talking about the legs of this woman!” She said. Then she stormed out of the room.

In his youth, Prince Charles Lange was considered a notorious charmer and “eternal bachelor”, whose love life regularly filled the British tabloid press. Before his marriage to Diana Spencer, he had numerous affairs and was often associated with noble or prominent women, including Camilla. Despite his official duties, Charles enjoyed his reputation as a crush of women, who knew how to go to a certain aristocratic wit and charm.

A habit that he apparently never fully put on the side of Camilla. Norris only learned about the outbreak the following day. Her colleague Fox informed her shortly before a further idea of ​​the royal scandal. In her role as a seductive threat of millions June Farrell – her stage outfit consisted of only hot pants – Norris apparently left behind.

Apparently Norris was remembered by today’s king. A few years later, a royal invitation actually fluttered into the house. Norris was invited to a reception for Queen’s Jubilee in Buckingham Palace as one of 100 “National Treasures” – i.e. as particularly valued cultural workers in the country. An honor that she initially considered a joke, but then proudly perceived with her daughter.
