| By royal appointment: HRH Duchess of Cornwall to guest star on The Archers From DailyMail.co.uk 3rd February 2011 |
||
She is no stranger to the ways of rural folk with her love of country pursuits. But now the Duchess of Cornwall is to grace the fictional village of Ambridge with her presence after it was announced she is to star in Radio 4's long-running soap opera The Archers. The cameo appearance will be broadcast in a couple of weeks after BBC producers went to Clarence House before Christmas to record her part in the drama. In the episode she turns up at the Grey Gables country house hotel in her role as president of the National Osteoporosis Society to speak to supporters of the charity. The Duchess is the second member of the royal family to appear on the show, after Princess Margaret also starred in an episode back in 1984. Camilla will appear alongside character Caroline Sterling – played by Sara Coward – who also performed alongside Princess Margaret when she made her appearance more than 25 years ago. |
Camilla has been an avid Archers listener for decades, while her husband Prince Charles is said to be less keen on the radio programme. The forthcoming visit was flagged up on last night's episode of the soap when Miss Sterling revealed that the Duchess was to pay a visit to the hotel. The 'brief' appearance will be aired on February 16, the same day when Her Royal Highness visits the home of the long-running serial in Birmingham, where it is usually recorded. It comes as the longest-running broadcast drama in the world celebrates its 60th anniversary this year. Last night actress Miss Coward said 'It was fascinating to go to Kensington Palace to record with Princess Margaret 27 years ago, and Clarence House was still more fun. The Duchess was relaxed, charming and wonderfully natural.' - Paul Revoir and Fay Schlesinger http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1353007/By-royal-appointment-HRH-Duchess-Cornwall-guest-star-The-Archers.html |
