The Duchess of Cornwall rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to selecting elegant and stylish outfits for her many royal engagements, and her latest look was no different.

Camilla didn’t disappoint in the fashion department as she stepped out in a gorgeous blue velvet gown to attend a dinner for the English & Welsh wine industry in London on Thursday night.

The 71-year-old, who is President of the Wines of Great Britain, looked incredible in the floor-length gown which featured stunning silver detailing. Camilla added a touch of bling with a three strand pearl chocker, and a stylish black cape to keep warm in the bitter British weather.

As the event centred on wine, it was no surprise to see Camilla enjoying a glass of red at the reception. She then delivered a short speech to fellow guests and members before settling down to dinner.

Earlier in the day, Camilla was spotted sporting a stylish purple two-piece as she attended another royal engagement. Camilla, Patron of the Academy Friends, visited the prestigious Royal Academy to learn more about its newly-opened learning facilities and education programmes.

The duchess joined a life-drawing workshop with Portugal Prints – a collective of London-based artists who provide creative therapy.

It’s been a busy few weeks for the royal, who’s been spotted out and about on a number of engagements. Last Wednesday, Camilla visited Jewish Care’s Brenner Centre in East London to mark the facilities’ 80th anniversary, and the duchess wasted no time in getting involved with the festivities.

Taking to the floor with Labour peer Lord Levy, a Jewish member of the UK’s House of Lords, Camilla danced to ‘Hava Nagila’, an Israeli folk song that is traditionally sung at Jewish celebrations.

Video footage shared on social media by Daily Mail reporter Rebecca English shows “great sport” Camilla taking the hand of an 86-year-old, who later told the royal reporter that he “wouldn’t sleep” after dancing with a member of the royal family.

He told the Daily Mail: “She put her hand out to mine and wanted to dance – I couldn’t believe it. I won’t sleep tonight I’m so excited.”

What do you think of Camilla’s style? Are you a fan of the British royal family?
