Queen Camilla paid a visit to the set of her favourite show Rivals after the death of her friend Jilly Cooper.

Jilly Cooper wrote the book on which the show was based on.

On October 5, the British author passed away after suffering a fall at her home in Bisley, Gloucestershire.

On December 8, the queen arrived on the set of the Disney+ show in Bristol, two months after Jilly's death.

On Jilly's death, Camilla shared a message of mourning calling the writer a “wonderfully witty” friend.

On Jilly’s death, Camilla shared a message saying “I join my husband The King in sending our thoughts and sympathies to all her family. And may her hereafter be filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs.”

Camilla visited the set during the filming for the drama’s second series.

The queen also met cast members including David Tennant, Alex Hassell, Bella Maclean, Danny Dyer, Aidan Turner, and Nafessa Williams.

The new season began filming in May and is set for release in 2026.
