As she prepares to head off on another
packed tour, representing her country, you can only doff your hat
to the Duchess of Cornwall. Camilla has created a royal agenda and
role of her own, against the odds, let’s not forget, and is now
widely accepted as one of the bedrocks of the 21st century House of
Windsor. So given all she’s achieved and all she is still clearly

The Prince of Wales has always been
passionate about nature and his work on the environment encompasses
global issues. But a little closer to home there’s nothing the heir
to the throne likes more than a potter in his gardens and as spring

It all started ten years ago in 2009
