Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall attended a national service commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo on Thursday. The royal couple, who were joined by Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince Edward, the Duke of Wellington and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, stepped out at St Paul's Cathedral for the bicentenary memorial service.
While Charles and his younger brother were in their full official military uniforms, Camilla sported a pristine white dress and coat for the occasion. The Duchess accessorised her look with a pearl necklace, cream gloves and a large white hat.

The service, which began at 11am, marked the British victory over French emperor Napoleon on 18 June 1815.
Making up the congregation were descendants of some of the men who fought in the battle, senior representatives of the armed services and ambassadors from the countries involved.
