Britain's long-running radio soap opera "The Archers"
will soon be getting a royal treatment.
Prince Charles' wife, Camilla, is set to play herself on an
episode of "The Archers", a rural drama about country life
that has been airing on BBC's Radio 4 for six decades.
The news of Camilla's cameo was revealed by the character of
Caroline Sterling - played by Sara Coward - on Wednesday
night's broadcast.
The Duchess of Cornwall, who has described herself as an avid
fan of the show, will appear in her role as president of the
National Osteoporosis Society in an episode to air on
February 16. The broadcaster says she has already recorded
the segment.
Camilla won't be the first member of Britain's royal family
to appear on the programme, which reachers 5 million
listeners a week. Princess Margaret participated in a 1984
episode.
