Camilla is patron of  Royal Academy Friends and this institution is close to her heart. During her visit, she observed two exhibitions, one by painter David Hockney and another by RA Schools graduate Michael Armitage. During her visit she met with members of the ticketing, visitor welcome and security team who have been instrumental in the gallery’s safe reopening post lockdown.

It's been a busy week for 73-year-old Camilla. On Tuesday, she joined husband Prince Charles on an official royal visit to Coventry Cathedral. The blonde royal looked amazing in a navy blue dress which she teamed with her favorite cape coat and a crisp white shirt. Layering her items, it gave her outfit a contemporary feel.  Accessorising to the max, she added black, knee-high boots and carried a black handbag by Demellier, which she also has in green.
