Paul O'Grady, who shot to prominence in the 1990s with his drag
queen persona Lily Savage, was 67. Camilla had a special bond with the
actor.
King Charles III's wife worked closely with him in their
support of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. She will be sharing her sympathies
with Paul's family privately in due course, the Palace said.
