Camilla Parker Bowles has become something of a style icon in recent years.

And true to form, the Duchess of Cornwall proved her sartorial skills are stronger than ever in an elegant powder blue ensemble for the first day of her and Prince Charles‘ royal tour of Devon and Cornwall on Monday.

WATCH Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles have fun in masks for charity gala!

The 71-year-old future Queen consort of England stunned in the flowing, pleated midi-dress by one of her favourite British designers Fiona Clare.

The Duchess teamed the summer outfit with her go-to pair of tan coloured Sole Bliss Ingrid heels, which she also wore for an engagement at the RAF Halton barracks last week.

Camilla looked to be in high spirits as she arrived at Mevagissey Harbour with the Prince of Wales, where she tucked into some ice cream and met with local residents.

The royal couple also enjoyed an afternoon picnic in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the Eden Project’s ‘Big Lunch’, an organisation of which the Duchess is patron.

The Big Lunch is a National Lottery-funded project which aims to bring neighbours and local communities together.

On Sunday, Camilla surprised the England cricket team with a very special gift during their World Cup final against New Zealand.

It’s a longstanding tradition for fans to send baked treats to BBC radio commentators covering the match, but this year the team received a right royal shock when the Duchess of Cornwall sent a cake depicting the World Cup trophy alongside Endland and New Zealand batting helmets, captains Eoin Morgan and Kane Williamson, a cricket ball and two bails.

It came with a note from Clarence House which read: “I hope this cake will bowl you over! With my best wishes, Camilla.”
