Buckingham Palace released a special letter from Queen Camilla amid reports that royal aides and the Sussex camp have been in contact to resolve some matters ahead of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to Australia.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to leave on Tuesday and there has been some “concern” about the matter. But the palace is now making efforts to shift its attention back to the royals as it shared a letter written by the Queen Consort.
The Queen sent her regards to singer and actress Dame Elaine Paige, who received a major honor this year.
“I was delighted to hear that you will be receiving this year’s Special Award at the 2026 Olivier Awards,” the announcement read. “I can’t think of a more fitting recipient: over decades of your career, your talent, commitment and generosity have made you a truly defining figure in musical theatre.”
She noted that Elaine “has simply brought enormous joy to countless people across the globe and we are all in your debt”.
Camilla also made a point to acknowledge the kind gesture Elaine made by sending out a patient for a few years when she saw the scene, calling her a star.
King Charles’ wife has been a staunch supporter of the monarch throughout this rough phase as the royals deal with a series of scandals and controversies. Camilla has offered support when needed.
Although the letter had been to honor a prominent artist, it also served as a distraction for the royals, who are reportedly worried about how the Aussie visit would unfold.
