I was one of the invitees at the elegant event in a marquee in the gardens of Richmond’s Mill House and with the Country Women’s Association, local producers and farmers, talked about the growing importance of the local farming industry and involving kids in where their food comes from.

Camilla and The Premier circled the room spending time at every table with Camilla personally speaking to each and every invitee.

“I could stay here all afternoon,” she said as she settled at my table.

It was an event conceived by an aide to the Duchess who was thrilled with the results.

“The Duchess is a country girl and involved in The Women’s Institute at home which is like the CWA here. The Prince often describes himself as a farmer, which he is. He takes his farm very seriously. So this lunch today seemed really fitting,” she said.
