She has also shared a touching tribute.
She told Variety: “She made a promise as a young woman and she absolutely kept it with such dignity. We’re all incredibly impressed by what she did,”
She also praised King Charles for his speech by saying: “From a British point of view, he did it so beautifully. He did it about love, tolerance and gentleness, and that is what she always wanted and she’s done.
“From the outside world looking at Great Britain, at the moment, we’ve got some comedy going on at one side – politics – and something so dignified. I felt proud to be British. I think he’s going to do a good job.”
