The Duchess of Cornwall was asked about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to step back from their royal duties and relocate to Canada on Monday. Camilla was paying a visit to Prospect Hospice in Wiltshire when she was questioned about the couple by a reporter. "Will you miss Harry and Meghan?" the Duchess was asked. In footage from the visit, she can be seen pausing before smiling and saying: "Course." Her answer generated a positive response on Twitter, with one fan writing: "The Duchess was great. She probably did not expect such a question and she was polite. Sometimes don't need to say much." A second tweeted: "A look that says 'don't be impertinent', more than anything else."
