In addition to the Sex and The City actress, Camilla was seen mingling with the likes of Anna Wintour (who took off her signature sunglasses for the occasion), Today co-host Jenna Bush Hager, who hosts her own book club on the morning show, and author Min Jin Lee, whose novel Pachinko was a The Queen's Reading Room book club pick in 2024.
The Queen read from prepared remarks at the event, looked over library artefacts with the And Just Like That... star, and met with representatives of local domestic violence charities and both New York City and State agencies for domestic violence prevention and social services.

It's not the first time the royal has teamed up with the actress.
Just six months ago, Parker was among the judging panel for 2025's Booker Prize for fiction and attended a reception at Clarence House in London, hosted by Queen Camilla.
The royal praised the And Just Like That... star for taking part.
"It's one of your many hats," Her Majesty said as they had a little chat during the reception.
Parker replied that it was "the one I'm most proud of".
"It was thrilling, especially to be among this group, who are all extraordinary, smart and wise," she said.
"We had such riches to discuss, and we are surrounded by such wonderful, exciting authors."
