Sarah, 60, was there to celebrate the Booker Prize 2025, which is the leading literacy award in the English-speaking world.
The Sex and the City star greeted Queen Camilla, 78, with a curtsy and a bow. The move sparked praise among royal fans, who described it as “beautiful”.
Sarah Jessica Parker attends Clarence House reception
On Tuesday, Camilla hosted a reception at Clarence House for this year’s shortlisted authors, judges and supporters of the prize. The 2025 winner was David Szalay.
Sarah was among the five judges of the Booker Prize.
Camilla reportedly told the Carrie Bradshaw star of being a judge: “It’s one of your many hats.”
SJP looks so lovely and such a beautiful curtsy!
The star replied: “And the one I’m most proud of. It was thrilling, especially to be among this group, who are all extraordinary, smart and wise.
“We had such riches to discuss, and we are surrounded by such wonderful, exciting authors.”
Roddy Doyle, chairman of the judging panel, along with Chris Power, Ayobami Adebayo, Kiley Reid and Sarah, spent the past year considering 153 novels for the prize.
David Szalay was picked as the winner for his novel Flesh, described as “a dark book, but a joy to read”.
