During the event, Camilla cut the Commonwealth cake and helped students who were working on their art projects.

It was a particularly busy day for Camilla, who also attended a Women of the World event. The Women of the World festival is a global movement that celebrates women and girls and looks at the obstacles that stop them from achieving their full potential. The Duchess met an array of women at the event and heard their special stories during a panel discussion.

Meanwhile, Prince Charles delivered a speech on the Commonwealth at a seperate event. He used his speech to discuss the importance of the Commonwealth and why connections are so important.

“It is clear to me that the Commonwealth remains as vital today, as it has ever been,” he said. “It brings us together, building bridges between our governments and our people, and offering the practical means to work together for a better future.

“You will not be surprised to hear that I have been very pleased to see, over these past few days, the many ways in which the United Kingdom has been helping to make a difference in Ghana whether through the private, government or N.G.O. sectors. But this is a two-way relationship, and the influence of Ghana, and of people of Ghanaian heritage, in the United Kingdom is extensive and vital too – whether in the arts, fashion, music, technology, business, academia or, of course, sport.”
