Where’s Mr. Darcy? While Duchess Camilla visited Jane Austen’s England residence to learn more about the beloved author’s literary collections, there was a certain Darcy-sized presence missing.
During the royal outing, museum director Lizzie Dunford showed off the organization’s “Jane Austen Undressed” exhibit devoted to the Regency period’s undergarments, which features the iconic blouse that Colin Firth wore in the 1995 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
“But he’s not in it, that’s a bit sad,” the Duchess of Cornwall, 74, joked while looking at the garment, per footage from the Royal Family’s YouTube channel.

“It’s a wonderful artifact, one of the reasons we wanted to show it was that 1995 production was so transformative for people loving Pride And Prejudice,” Dunford explained on Wednesday. “That scene, we all watched it, everyone, and this production brought so many people to Jane Austen, which is why it’s quite a significant artifact.”

Guy Lodge Film CriticOperation Mincemeat was an aptly absurd code name for what was, on the face of it, a preposterous British military mission: In 1943, with Allied forces planning to invade Sicily and wrest it from fascist Axis control, two intelligence officers conspired to convince the Nazis they were targeting Greece instead, pulling off the ruse with false documents and the stolen, dressed-up corpse of a fictitious British marine. It’s a true chapter of history that nonetheless sounds like a war film as dreamed up by Ealing Studios scriptwriters; it’s practically begging to be made into a farce, and sure enough, the gag-filled knockabout musical “Operation Mincemeat” hits London stages this very month.
