The Queen Consort looked elegant in cream today as she arrived in Colchester with King Charles to celebrate it becoming a city.
Camilla, 75, walked alongside the King at Colchester castle where she will celebrate with local communities and organisations which represent the city’s heritage.
Colchester became a city officially in November last year, and was awarded the status during the Queen Platinum Jubilee.
Camilla looked radiant as she wore a collared cream longline coat, which she paired with a brown wide-brimmed fluffy hat and a beige animal print scarf, which was tucked into her coat.
She contrasted her white angelic look with black leather gloves and a classic black clutch bag. She donned pearl stud earrings and also wore a pair of onyx timeless suede heeled boots.

The Queen Consort and King will be meeting charities, refugees and volunteers who have settled in to the newly-found city, along with people who contributed to Colchester’s city status procession last year.
The royal couple will also meet those who care for the animals at Colchester Zoo to unveil which name they have chosen for their newest addition, a baby white rhino.
They will also listen to the team speak about their important conservation work.
Later at Colchester Library, Charles and Camilla will join Age UK for an afternoon tea with local volunteers, service users and The Silver Line staff to hear about the support provided by the charity across the region.

But despite Camilla receiving flowers, not everyone gave the royal couple a warm welcome.
Upon arrival, protesters shouted and held a yellow banner that said ‘not my King’.
One of the protesters, speaking through a megaphone, said as Charles and Camilla got out of a car: ‘Answer your critics Charles, come and talk to your critics.’
The protester added: ‘Why are you wasting our money?’
The King waved to the gathered crowds before going through a gate into Colchester Castle’s grounds, but did not appear to acknowledge the protesters who were stood on the far side of the road behind a police presence.
