The Duchess of Cornwall came face-to-face tonight with the author of a controversial book on her husband, the Prince of Wales.

Camilla spoke briefly with Catherine Mayer, whose unofficial biography - Charles: The Heart Of A King - claims the Queen is concerned about the potential style of the monarchy under her son.

The pair had a "quick chat" at Southbank Centre in central London ahead of this year's Women of the World (WOW) Festival, a royal spokeswoman said.

Among the guests were broadcaster Sandi Toksvig, Olympic gold-medal winner Christine Ohuruogu and internet entrepreneur Baroness Lane-Fox as the Duchess was announced as royal president of the festival. Click link for full post from The Telegraph.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
