Today, the Duchess Of Cornwall was elegant as she attended today’s annual Journalists’ Commemorative Service.
Camilla, 72 years old, was welcomed warmly before entering St Bride’s Church, Fleet Street, to honor the journalist, camera crew, and support staff who died on the frontline.
Candles were lit to remember those who lost their lives on the battle field during the annual service. Tim Davie, director general of BBC Tim Davie delivered an address.
Other readers included Alison Phillips, editor of Daily Mirror.
It comes after a busy few weeks for the Duchess, who earlier this month visited the set of ITV’s adaptation of Grace in West Sussex.
Camilla spent the night in Shoreham-by-Sea, where she was able to join the stars and crew, including John Simm (who plays troubled Brighton copman) as well as Peter James, the author of the best-selling Roy Grace Series.
For the colder weather, she wrapped up in a warm blue dress and added a stylish pair of suede boots to complete her look.
For the occasion, the Duchess wore leather gloves and was warmly welcomed at the event by the host.
And last week she joined Prince Charles in Glasgow to attend the Cop26 summit, at which the Prince of Wales demanded a ‘military-style campaign’ to mobilise trillions of dollars of private sector cash to ‘save our precious planet’.
According to The Duke of Cornwall the pandemic showed the world that if everyone agrees on the urgent and direction, ‘timelines could be dramatically sped-up’.
According to the future king, top executives and business leaders he spoke to said they are ready to help protect the planet from climate change.
It comes after sources said that Camilla, who was praised for a speech earlier this month, in which she called for more urgent action to tackle sexual violence against women, will be asked to help manage the Queen’s workload.

Under rules enshrined in law and detailed on the official Royal website, four members of the family are currently entitled as ‘Counsellors of State’ to take over from the Queen if she is unable to perform her duties – if, for example, she were abroad or unwell.
Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Andrew are these Counsellors. These are William’s three children, Charlotte, Louis and George.
But neither Prince Andrew – who is fighting sex claims lodged in the US – nor Prince Harry, who has quit official duties and now lives in California, are currently working members of the Royal Family.
Dr Craig Prescott, a constitutional expert at Bangor University, explained: ‘The Counsellors of State are a Plan B from a constitutional point of view, but what happens when Plan B isn’t quite ideal? It is possible that the Queen will add the Duchess Cornwall as a Counsellor to State, since Charles would still be King.
Libby Wiener (ex-journalist for ITV News) also addressed the London service.
