Michelle Hardwick’s connection to Amy Robbins

Yesterday (Thursday January 19, 2023), Michelle shared a post of her daughter, Betty, and her godmother, Amy Robbins on Instagram.

In the first two photos, Betty could be seen smiling at Amy as she cuddled her.

The third photo showed both Michelle and Amy smiling as they took a selfie.

Michelle and Amy both became good friends when they first worked together on the TV show, The Royal.

In the show, Michelle played the role of Lizzie Hopkirk in the medical drama, whilst Amy played the role of Dr. Jill Weatherill.

On the Instagram post, Michelle alluded to their time on the show, stating: “So 20 years to the day that The Royal first aired, my bestie popped round to meet her Goddaughter. When Amy asked me to be Godmother to one of her daughters a long time ago, I’d never in a million years think she’d be holding my baby girl and calling her Goddaughter too. We love you Amy Robbins.”

How cute!
