She is said to be reluctant to the idea, but Queen Camilla will be immortalized in bronze next year for her first official royal sculpture.
“I don’t think she would be mad about having it done,” revealed artist Lady Petchey, “but she accepted, as it will be kept at the Royal Osteoporosis Society, which I think is lovely.”
The Queen is president of the charity, which will display the finished work at its headquarters in Bath, with a copy sent to Clarence House.
Lady Petchey, known professionally as Frances Segelman, previously sculpted the late Queen and Prince Philip, as well as the King when he was Prince of Wales, and is now completing a new bust of him with the correct regalia and medals as monarch.
It was while working at Clarence House that Segelman, 75, met Camilla. “We had a connection,” the sculptor told me. ‘I really like her a lot, she is such a lovely woman, she is not vain at all.
Queen Camilla will be immortalized in bronze next year with her first official royal sculpture by Lady Petchey.
Lady Petchey, known professionally as Frances Segelman, previously sculpted the late Queen.
‘Camilla also revealed a bust I did of the late Queen for Barnardo’s in east London, and she loved it. In fact, he told me “this is the best bust of Her Majesty the Queen I have ever seen.”
Segelman said his bust of Camilla will be “absolute perfection, I think it’s the best work of my life.”
He added that the Royal Family “knows that I make beautiful representations of them and that they are beautiful sculptures.” With portraits it’s very different: you can go a little crazy. But with sculpture it really has to look like the person. Getting the exact look of someone in a sculpture and the feeling behind it is an art and I believe I can achieve it.”
Segelman recently sold an eight-inch sculpture of Carlos for £30,000 through online auction house House of Assets.
