The Duchess' meaningful event was held to mark World Osteoporosis Day - which holds extra poignance to Camilla, since both her late mother and grandmother battled with the condition.

She met 25 volunteers and supporters to discuss the condition, which causes bones to lose strength and break more easily - sometimes by something as small as a cough or a hug.

The Instagram caption from Clarence House read: "Today, on #WorldOsteoporosisDay, The Duchess of Cornwall hosted a tea for @royalosteosoc supporters and volunteers.

"The charity, of which HRH is President, is dedicated to improving the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this fragile bone disease. HRH has been involved with the charity for over 20 years as a result of her mother and grandmother's experience with osteoporosis.

"During the event, the Duchess met Valerie Farr, who was diagnosed with a rare type of osteoporosis, known as pregnancy associated osteoporosis, after having her first child. Did you know every minute in the UK someone suffers a broken bone (a fracture) due to osteoporosis?"

Many royal fans were appreciative of Camilla's commitment to raising awareness of the cause, with one commenting: "Camilla brings to light a lot of serious issues in a very lovely way. You are doing a good job Camilla and will one day make an excellent Queen Consort."
