Last Wednesday The Prince and Princess of Wales undertook engagements in London.
First, Charles and Camilla visited Theatre Royal Drury, which is the UK’s oldest theatre site. Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber and his wife Madeleine Lloyd Webber, the owners, gave them a tour of the venue following the restoration, where they even met with members of the public. Charles then officially reopened the theatre.
Their Royal Highnesses also enjoyed some scones and tea on the terrace.
Clarence House adds on the engagement:
The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is undergoing a two year restoration project to bring to life the building’s history and offer an amazing space for the public to enjoy. The theatre sits on the oldest theatre site in continuous use in the world - there has been a theatre at this location since 1663! (...) One of the aims of the restoration was to create a space that will see the building alive throughout the day for everyone, whether or not they are coming to see a show. The new hospitality offering includes all day dining and a cocktail bar for everyone to enjoy. People will also be able to enjoy afternoon tea on the terrace with playwright Noel Coward! The Theatre Royal Drury Lane is set to reopen to the public in August 2021.
Then, The Prince and Princess visited Hyde Park to thank staff from The Royal Parks, Charles’ patronage that looks after London’s green spaces. Clarence House on the engagement:
Their Royal Highnesses spoke to gardeners, apprentices, cleaning staff, litter pickers, volunteer and the mounted police force, whose efforts helped to provide an escape for people during lockdown. Park staff said it had been a “challenging but rewarding” time, and added it was nice to receive appreciation for their work. Hyde Park boasts a “super” nursery which houses all 450,000 bedding plants and shrubs needed for flower displays across the eight Royal Parks, including the gardens outside Buckingham Palace.
The Royal Parks charity, launched by The Prince in 2017, welcomes 77 million visitors a year to its 5,000 acres of historic parkland across London – including Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, Green Park, Regent’s Park, Greenwich Park, Richmond Park and Bushy Park.
Chief Executive of The Royal Parks, Andrew Scattergood, said: “It’s an incredibly special day, but for me it is bigger than just the Royal Parks, I think they’re trying to say thank you to parks and gardens across the UK.
“This year with everything we’ve been through just the importance of green spaces and that access to nature is hugely important, but what today shows you is just how many people are working to enable that to happen.”
At one point Camilla stopped to enjoy an ice cream.
Now, for what she wore to enjoy the warm British weather. The dress is a new piece in her wardrobe, Samantha Sung’s ‘Audrey Drapery Dota Dress in Ivy Green’ (£705). It features a fitted upper, full length button fastening. You can buy it here.
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.
