She said that when she returned home she was touched to learn the then-Prince Charles had enlisted the help of his cook at Clarence House to cook for her and her family twice a day for her recovery period.
The actress – the half-sister of Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman, 51, and who has starred in the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, said: “It was lifesaving, having this massive thing twice daily that I didn’t have to worry about.”
Winkleman, who is known as Lady Frederick Windsor and is also the daughter-in-law of Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent, also told Tatler about Charles’ work ethic: “I spend a bit of time with him. You see how he works all day long, has a quick supper and then disappears until about 4am to write letters.
”He cares about so many things and he comes up with brilliant solutions.”
She also told Tatler how Prince William, 41, asked an air ambulance colleague to “take good care of her” after her accident, and how Sophie, Countess of Wessex, 58, came to visit her while she was recuperating in hospital.
The full feature on Winkleman is in the February issue of Tatler, available via digital download and on newsstands from January 4.
