The Duchess of Cornwall joined Queen Letizia of Spain, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands at a moving service to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz in Poland on Monday. Camilla, 72, visited the former Auschwitz-Birkenau camp to join survivors and Heads of State and Government for the commemoration.
