The patter of tiny feet is due any day and Charles, 65, is clearly looking forward to his new daughter. “Every scan we’ve had we see this beautiful little thing and we’ve now seen the face. On the last scan you can actually see her face through a kind of mist of stuff,” Charles tells us. “Apparently she has very long legs and very long arms.”
The actor, who announced in September last year that he was engaged to Eleanor, 39, is already a father of Oliver, 37 and Rebecca, 27, from his previous marriage which ended after 33 years. But the imminent new arrival has got Charles considering how much work he’d like to take on during the baby’s first few months. “I’ve worked my rear off over the last year. I guess I’ll have to slow down but you know I’ve juggled family life and work before so I can do it again. I’m doing a political thriller for Channel 4 and I’m doing a series for HBO called Strike Back in South Africa.”
