Restaurateur Jeremy King, who has hosted numerous celebrities and royals at his London eateries, has shared his admiration for Queen Camilla, describing her as 'entirely natural' and someone who 'just wants to be with their guests and not attract attention.'
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, King contrasted Camilla with those who seek the spotlight, placing her among the people he admires most. He recalled that Princess Diana, another regular at his former restaurant Le Caprice, also valued the normality his establishment offered away from the glare of fame.
King noted that Diana would often be noticed upon entering but did not expect special treatment. He would deliberately engage with the least-known person in the room, a gesture Diana appreciated as a form of sanctuary. The bond extended beyond the restaurant, with joint outings for staff, including a go-karting event in Croydon.
King's restaurants have also attracted King Charles, who is a fan of Simpson's in the Strand. The venue temporarily closed during the pandemic but has since reopened.
