Charles and Camilla visit Chapham

Clarence House

A quite late post, but yesterday was a busy day for me and at the end of the day I was feeling a little off, so forgive me. Yesterday, The Prince and Princess of Wales toured Clapham Old Town to “celebrate the local high street and recognise its value to the local community”, according to Clarence House.

Their first stop was at Trinity restaurant to meet staff and representatives from the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts in order to mark their 40th anniversary. While outside The Prince and Princess chatted with local suppliers like M Moen & Sons Butchers and Moxon’s Fishmongers. Camilla said that one of the muttons displayed was her “husband’s favourite.”

Then, The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall met Omnibus Theatre staff and heard about the upcoming plans of the theatre. They walked down the hill and visited many shops along the way.

One of them was the Prince of Wales pub. Charles enjoyed himself immensely as he poured himself a pint of Sambrook’s bitter and said that he would like to visit every Prince of Wales pub across the country to get a free drink. He and his wife also admired a Toby jug of The Duke of Edinburgh.

Their final stop was at Clapham Fire Station to greet firefighters and thank them for their service.

These kinds of visits around communities are especially important to promote other people to support small business and give a sense of normalcy as the UK tries to adapt to the new normal as most of the population continues to be vaccinated.

Now, what Camilla wore to the busy day. The Duchess wore a floral Fiona Clare design.

She carried her Bottega Veneta bag named ‘Intrecciato small leather shoulder bag’. It’s currently unavailable. Selfridges’ description:

Bottega Veneta’s Intrecciato weave is just so versatile, isn’t it? It works on every bag the brand uses it on. This one is covered in the technique, and it even reaches inside too. It doesn’t just look good, though — it’s functional as well. It’s got two roomy main compartments with a zip pocket in each, and there are a couple of ways you can carry it — with the top carry handles, or over your shoulder with the strap.

Regarding jewelry, The Duchess turned to pieces she has been wearing for almost a year by now. The earrings are her usual pearl ones. The gold necklace is Jens Hamsen’s ‘Golden Kiwi’ (NZ$1,390). It was gifted by the Mayor of Nelson to Her Royal Highness during a tour in 2015. She has been wearing it frequently since last year. The description:

The Golden Kiwi pendant is a beautiful stylised interpretation of the national symbol of New Zealand, the rare flightless Kiwi bird.

She usually pairs it with another much-loved necklace as she did today, the ‘Apollo Mini Blue Topaz and Diamond Pendant in White Gold’ (£1,916.67) by Kiki McDonough. I personally believe it was a gift by The Duchess of Cambridge, who also frequently buys Kiki, and as it was first seen around Camilla’s birthday. It’s an exquisite 18ct White Gold and Diamond intricate circle pendant encasing a beautiful Blue Topaz stone. The delicate design has been crafted to ensure maximum sparkle.

Fitbit

It’s also possible to spot The Duchess’ faithful Fitbit’s ‘Charge 4’ ($129.95), along with her usual bracelets, which aren’t identified. I believe that her usual colour isn’t available in the site anymore, so the photo below doesn’t represent her actual watch. The description:

Take your goals further with a health & fitness tracker that packs built-in GPS for pace and distance, 24/7 heart rate tracking and more into a comfortable wristband.

Her shoes are unidentified as well.
