Camilla Parker Bowles recently became the Royal Patron of the National Theatre, taking over the patronage from Meghan Markle after she and Prince Harry stepped down from their senior positions as royals. And with her new title, the Duchess of Cornwall had quite the interesting encounter.
Bowles made her first trip to the theater earlier this week, where she got an exclusive look into everything that goes on behind the scenes. Her visit was documented on the Clarence House Instagram account, where they detailed the mission of the playhouse: “Since 1963, the National Theatre has shared unforgettable stories with audiences across the world, empowering artists and craftspeople, investing in talent, and developing new productions with a range of theatre companies,” the caption read.
However, within the slideshow of photos from the duchess's visit, we couldn't get over the first pic, which showed Bowles shaking hands with a marionette puppet.
