A palace insider told the UK’s Express that Camilla’s early departure was because the Duchess “doesn’t want to take too much on”.

It is well-known that Camilla dislikes flying.

But Charles – who is about to celebrate his 70th birthday – appeared at ease as he attended the glittering engagement with Naomi, 49.

The former supermodel wore a black velvet Ralph & Russo velvet dress with a feather trim.

“Firstly I would like to wish him a Happy Birthday. He looks amazing. He doesn’t look his age, his spirit is young. I told him that his spirit was young,” Naomi said.
