EastEnders’ own “princess” Sharon Watts was kept warm by a real-life royal yesterday – when Prince Charles lent her his coat on a visit to the set.
The Prince of Wales was joined by wife Camilla to watch the cast of the soap film scenes in which they celebrate the Queen’s platinum jubilee with a street party.
Letitia Dean, who plays Sharon, said she was thrilled when Charles, 73, placed his jacket on her shoulders after noticing she was cold during a group photograph outside The Queen Vic. The chivalrous act was met with a round of applause after she had told him: “You’ve got your coat on, very wise.”
