With just days to go until they sit front row to watch Prince Harry and Meghan Markle marry, Prince Charles and Camilla were business as usual as they carried out their official duties at a fashion event in London.
The pair stepped out together on Wednesday in support of technology, innovation and sustainable fashion within Britain and weren’t shy when it came to testing out a few of the products on display.
The Duchess of Cornwall, 70, was the picture of elegance as she greeted workers in a pale-pink suit teamed with two-tone Chanel shoes, while Prince Charles, 69, looked dapper in a navy suit. Camilla wore her hair out in soft waves and opted for minimum makeup for the occasion. She completed the ensemble with a nude clutch and accessorised with her trademark piece of jewellery: a pearl necklace.
Clarence House said of the engagement: “Today The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall are carrying out engagements in London that will celebrate technology, innovation and sustainable fashion.”
On the outing, the duchess visited a showroom featuring British brands and sustainable fashion at tech hub Yoox, while Charles had a chance to look through a virtual viewer during a visit to YouTube.

Charles and Camilla looked in excellent spirits, as they met with two influential YouTube creators, Louise Pentland and Joe Sugg of ThatcherJoe, and sat down for a good old chat about books and literature.

Harry and Meghan are just days away from tying the knot, and Charles and Camilla are expected to take one of the starring roles on the day. It’s likely however, they’ll be outshone by two much younger royals – their grandchildren, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Kensington Palace confirmed on Thursday that George, 4, and Charlotte, 3, will act as page boy and bridesmaid on the big day, and they’re sure to put on an adorable display for the world.
