Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, put her acting skills to the test to help out in the fight against COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus.
Camilla, the wife of Prince Charles, read and acted out the Roald Dahl classic children's book "James and the Giant Peach" as part of a web series called "James and the Giant Peach, with Taika and friends," hosted by Oscar-winning screenwriter and director, Taika Waititi.
"I'm thrilled to do it," Camilla said in a clip of the reading that aired Wednesday on "Good Morning America." "Not that I'm much of an actor, but I shall do my best."
