My Royal Romance with Prince Edward | Ruthie Henshall
Description
Watch new episodes of True Royalty Originals TWO WEEKS EARLY at True Royalty TV.
West End star Ruthie Henshall joins Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and royal biographer Ingrid Seward to look back on her remarkable relationship with Prince Edward.
Ruthie shares how they first met while working in the theatre, what Edward was really like away from royal life, and her memories of his romantic side - from cooking for her and leaving notes to the loving letters she rediscovered decades later.
She also recalls meeting Queen Elizabeth II for the first time, spending time with the Royal Family at Balmoral, meeting Diana, Princess of Wales and being taken under Sarah Ferguson’s wing.
Plus, Ruthie reflects on the difficult choice between the West End career she loved and a possible future in the Royal Family, why their relationship ultimately came to an end, and the affection and mutual respect that remains between them today.
