Hail to the moisturized chief!


This year's most highly-anticipated event will see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tie the knot on Saturday.

But ahead of the lavish wedding, Phoebe Waller-Bridge spoke about meeting royal member Camilla Parker Bowles, 70, as she revealed the pair engaged in a surprisingly 'raunchy' conversation about 'girl on girl action'.

Appearing on the Graham Norton show, set to air on Friday - the Star Wars actress, 32, also admitted that the Duchess of Cornwall was not aware who she was, despite their candid discussion.

Saucy! Phoebe Waller-Bridge told Graham Norton about meeting Camilla Parker Bowles, as she revealed the pair engaged in a surprisingly 'raunchy' conversation about 'girl on girl action'

Detailing their recent meeting, the director explained: 'We had a rather raunchy conversation about the film I am writing.'

The Iron Lady star confessed: 'We talked about girl on girl action but it turned out she had no idea who I was!'

Camilla's representative declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline.

Camilla - who is the second wife of Charles, Prince of Wales - is set to attend the glitzy royal wedding at Windsor's St George's Chapel, Windsor on Saturday, which is expected to be viewed by millions around the world.

Open: The Star Wars actress, 32, also admitted that the Duchess of Cornwall (pictured May 16) was not aware who she was, despite their candid discussion

Phoebe was joined by singers Gloria Stefan and Leon Bridges, actor David Tennant and co-star Emilia Clarke as she discussed the upcoming Star Wars film.

Speaking on auditioning for the film - in which she plays Lando's droid companion L3-37 - the Man Up actress said: 'I had no idea what a droid was. On the way to the audition I asked the cab driver and he rang his family.'

'Nobody knew so I decided to do it as a human. I was then asked to make it more like a robot!'

Exciting: Phoebe was joined by singers Gloria Stefan and Leon Bridges, actor David Tennant andco-star Emilia Clarke as she discussed the upcoming Star Wars film

Solo: A Star Wars Story is directed by Ron Howard, who took over after original helmers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller departed over 'creative differences'; they will retain an executive producers credit.

Press for the film describes the plot, saying: 'Through a series of daring escapades deep within a dark and dangerous criminal underworld, Han Solo befriends his mighty future copilot Chewbacca and meets the notorious gambler Lando Calrissian, in a journey that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga's most unlikely heroes.'

It is the latest spin-off/standalone in the lucrative sci-fi franchise which was given a new lease of life in 2012 when Lucas Film was purchased by Disney for a little over $4billion.

Since then two parts of a sequel trilogy — The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi — have been released, as well as the stand-alone prequel Rogue One, with many more unnamed projects planned.

Solo: A Star Wars Story hits UK theatres on May 24, and in the US the following day.

Solo star Emilia touched on the cast's hilarious dance battle during filming: 'I did what I could - we had a dance-off under the Millennium Falcon to gangster rap. It turned into a dance-off between Chewwy and Phoebe.'

Phoebe added: 'We were grinding for ages and no one took any notice!'

The two actresses recently jetted off to Cannes during the 71st annual film festival for the Disney film's premiere.

On a look out for a party, the pair confessed that they gatecrashed a lavish bash hosted by Stella McCartney.

Phoebe shared: "We just kept knocking on doors to find out where the party was. We knocked on a few until we found the right one. We'd already gate crashed one of Stella McCartney's!"

The Graham Norton Show airs on BBC One, Friday 18th May at 10.35pm.
