Queen Camilla ‘stormed out’ of party over King Charles, claims EastEnders star Cali Norri
During a recent chat on the Chicken Soup for the Soul podcast, former EastEnders star Carli Norris shared a funny story about Charles commenting on her “sexy” legs.
Back in 2016, Charles, who was Prince of Wales at the time, met Carli after watching her and her co-stars perform in The Chiltern Hundreds in the West End. In the show’s opening scene, Carli said she was “lounging on a chaise longue wearing a pair of hot pants and sandals.”
After the show, Carli went to leave, but as she was heading out, Prince Charles approached her, shook her hand, and said, “You’ve got very sexy legs.” Carli responded with, “Oh thank you, your highness.”
Later, Carli and her co-stars had dinner with King Charles and Queen Camilla. Apparently, Charles kept talking about Carli’s legs so much that eventually, Camilla slammed her knife and fork down and said, “Oh for goodness sake, Charles, will you stop going on about that gal’s legs?!” She then left the room, storming out.

Carli Norris jokes about King Charles encounter
Carli found out about the incident from her co-star, Edward Fox, the next day.
She also shared that she was later invited to Buckingham Palace as one of 100 “National Treasures” for Queen Elizabeth II’s platinum jubilee in 2022. At first, Carli thought the invite was a joke, but once she confirmed it was real, she attended the event with her daughter.
“I can only imagine, Elisabeth Dermot Walsh, that Prince Charles has been following my career and he’s the one who wanted me sitting near him for his mum’s jubilee. That’s what I can imagine,” she joked.
Elisabeth Dermot Walsh, the podcast host, then joked that Carli could be expecting a damehood now that Charles is king.
Camilla on ‘secret’ of her marriage to Charles
King Charles and Queen Camilla recently marked their 20th wedding anniversary during their state visit to Italy.
While there, Camilla was asked about the secret to their long-lasting marriage.
“20 years, who could believe it was 20 years? What is the secret? I don’t know. Well, I suppose it’s just sort of friendship, really,” she said.
“Laughing at the same things, getting on with life,” she added.
She went on to share: “We are always going in different directions, like ships that pass in the night really. We whizz past each other. In fact, we have got a bit of a catch-up this afternoon.”
