Has anyone heard anything of the Duchess and her back? It's been a while since we have seen her? The 19th?

The Duchess of Cornwall received the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show presenter Chris Evans at Clarence House today, January 20, following the launch of the children's story-writing competition 500 Words, which Camilla is supporting this year.
I'm happy to see the DoC sponsoring something like this that will be a competition. I don't know about all of you but I can remember cringing when assigned to do an essay "in 500 words or more" (usually on some ghastly subject). To this day, I still somewhat enjoy writing. This contest encourages creativity and imagination and I'd love to read the winning entries.
@ Osipi- I love writing short stories!I think Camilla's work with literacy for all ages goes largely unnoticed. I guess it isn't 'sexy' enough. But when it comes to kids and literacy she is uniquely qualified as a hands on Gran.
She seems to translate familial relationships to her interaction with young children and literacy to terrific effect and let's be honest here, who wouldn't love to hear stories with our much loved Gran. I am guessing more than a few of us have life-long memories of our grandparents, and family other than our parents, reading to us.
Taking on this Essay Competition is a logical progression and while it looks to be fun it's a daunting challenge for the particepants . . . 'and for your mid term exam, a 500 word essay' . . . . are words that sent a chill down my spine on more than one occasion. But somehow I think Camilla will make it sound fun.
Meanwhile the Duchess of Cornwall :
