The event was advertised on the GB site a while ago, before it crashed. I am sure Camilla had a wonderful evening.

Shelter Box started as a small project by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard, Cornwall, in 2001, but it took off quickly. To date, it has raised ₤15 million and delivered aid in 33 countries. Recently, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles’s wife, Camilla, agreed to serve as president of Shelter Box. She is believed to be the first Royal Patron of a Rotary club project in the United Kingdom.

Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig Revel Horwood had the Duchess of Cornwall moving like a ballroom diva when he gave her an impromptu cha cha cha lesson.
The choreographer encouraged Camilla to wiggle her hips and move her feet to a Latin track when the pair visited a London school on World Osteoporosis Day.
The Duchess and the celebrity dance instructor held hands and shimmied in the hall of St Clement Danes primary school which is taking part in a National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) project.

Strictly speaking they were a rather unlikely pair of dance partners.
But there was no stopping the Duchess of Cornwall from taking a twirl with judge Craig Revel Horwood today.
And to the astonishment of many - not least the normally acid-tongued judge himself - Camilla proved rather light on her feet as she executed a decidedly half-decent Cha-cha-cha

I love that there is a video of the Duchess dancing. She does seem like a very warm fun person. I must say they, she either looks smaller on video or has lost some weight.

Thanks for the link, Princejohnny25. So nice and funny, the Duchess indeed seems to be such a likable person with a good sense of humour.

I too loved watching the Duchess doing the cha-cha-cha on the video, and agree she has slimmed down abit, which is very becoming to her. What a great spirit that woman has! Cudos to her-

The Prince of Wales, who greatly misses the late Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, can take comfort in the fact that his wife shares his beloved grandmother's sense of humour.
The Duchess of Cornwall has succeeded her as the patron of the P G Wodehouse Society of the Netherlands.

I love the pic of the DoC wearing her reading glasses, she looks so "intellectual". The cornflower blue dress matches her eyes perfectly...

BBC News - Duchess of Cornwall praises 'tireless' ShelterBox

A Cornish-based charity which provides survival equipment to disaster-hit countries has been described as "tireless" by the Duchess of Cornwall.

The Duchess has definitly taken on a more significant solo presence this year and I for one am pleased for it. I loved this dress the first hundred times but HRH needs to switch it up a bit, and no brooch makes me a sad PJ25.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall visited Mayhew Animal Home on May
12, 2010 in London, England. Mayhew Animal home was established

Did she take one home??

No, unfortunately not She fell in love with a puppy and joked
she should take it home with her, but did not do so. Imagine how
many dogs/animals the Royal Family would have if they always chose
one when visiting an animal shelter..

Here's an article about that visit including the puppy incident:

Yesterday, May 13 , the Duchess of Cornwall attended the Windsor
Castle Royal Tattoo, in the grounds of Windsor Castle in Berkshire.

Now I know why I like Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. If she loves animals so much she can has a big heart. I can see way Prince Charles loves her so much.

Aww, such a cute puppie! I can see why Camilla fell in love with it.
