Jilly Cooper has died aged 88
The writer - known for her “bonkbusters” including Riders, Rivals and Polo - died unexpectedly on Sunday morning after a fall, with her children Felix and Emily saying it had come as a “complete shock”.
Camilla said she hoped Dame Jilly’s “hereafter” would be “filled with impossibly handsome men and devoted dogs”.
Dame Jilly was a longstanding friend of Camilla, and the author based her fictional seducer and showjumping lothario Rupert Campbell-Black partly on the Queen’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles.
