Fennell, who also wrote and directed the Oscar-nominated “Promising Young Woman”, told journalist Georgie Prodromou, “It was particularly nice to meet her today on International Women’s Day because, you know, she does so much for so many particularly female charities.”
She then joked, “I was nervous I might be thrown in the Tower — but so far, so good.”

Fennell didn’t say what she spoke about with Camilla, but said, “She’s been in the spotlight for a long time and has always weathered it with grace.”
During remarks at the gathering, Camilla also jokingly referenced Fennell’s attendance.
“For me, it’s very reassuring to know that if I should fall off my perch at any moment, my fictional alter ego is here to take over,” she laughed. “So, Emerald — be prepared!”
