Camilla makes a statement in red as she pens moving Christmas message for magazine

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, has graced the cover of The Telegraph’s Stella Magazine, making a striking appearance as the feature of a recent issue.

In the gorgeous pictures – shared to the duchess’ and husband Prince Charles’ official Instagram account @ClarenceHouse – Camilla looked festive in an elegant red coat dress for the December edition. The duchess, 73, added a beautiful brooch, black suede boots and wore her hair out in its signature style.

In the cover shot, the duchess can be seen posing next to a Christmas tree, while the second shows her sitting on a chair in a beautifully decorated room.

The photographs accompanied the duchess’ heartwarming Christmas message, where she emphasised the importance of supporting older people who may be lonely this time of year. Clarence House shared a snippet of Camilla’s message on the couple’s official Instagram account.

“Feelings of isolation and loneliness can, of course, be particularly acute at Christmas,” it read. “Last year, it was estimated that 850,000 older people would be spending Christmas on their own. Sadly, that number is expected to rise this year.

“If you know of an older, isolated person to whom you could bring a bit of festive cheer, please pick up your telephone and make the call – you really will make a huge difference.”

Royal fans were thrilled to see the magazine photoshoot, with one writing, “Amazing photoshoot of Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cornwall.”

“Such a powerful message and incredibly beautiful photos of Her Royal Highness!” another added. “I love this so much.” While a third wrote, “Keeping it classy! Lovely pics, great cause.”

It comes less than a week after the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall released their 2020 Christmas card. The gorgeous photo showed Prince Charles and Camilla sitting on a bench surrounded by a stunning array of flowers in the garden at Birkhall, the couple’s home on the Queen’s Balmoral estate in Scotland. The jovial pair looked happier than ever, with Prince Charles seen gazing over at his wife as she smiled for the camera.
