A spokesperson added, "The Duchess of Cornwall equally champions the work of the Prince of Wales and The Prince’s Foundation and herself, takes a keen interest in the arts and creative industries.

Her Royal Highness is patron of the Royal School of Needlework, the Water-Colour World, Ditchling Museum and the Fan Museum."

なんせ、少なくなったシニアロイヤルの皆様

仲良く協力しあっていかねば、、、です。

を訪問

生徒達や指導者たちとお会いに。

大学でアート史の学位をとられたキャサリン妃

そしてファッション好きでもあるだけに

洋服のデザインや、工程について興味を示されていた妃。

ハリー王子＆メーガン夫人の抜けた今

いかに、主要ロイヤルで、盛り上げていくかが重要、、、、であることを

この合流公務でも実感

仲良く、協力しあって、注目も集めねば。

キャサリン妃の存在は、皇太子ご夫妻にとっても

ピースフルで、良い影響へと繋がりますもんね〜

と穿った見方しか出来ない感、、ですがw

そして、やっぱり

キャサリン妃は賢かった。

ファッションからもソツない！！！

というか、義理の両親を立てますねえ〜〜

チャコールグレーに黒の襟がついたドレスは

《キャサリン・ウォーカー》の着回しですね〜

しかも、初お披露目された、前回の着用といえば

2019年にエリザベス女王と、初めて２ショットで公務に同行された時。

義理のご家族とお仕事をご一緒する時にぴったり！

なドレスと言えますが

この翌日は、エリザベス女王の即位70周年の記念日

女王とご一緒はできないけれど、

その歴史的記念日を祝し、

敬意の意、が込められているに違いない。

この日のファッションを見て

改めて、キャサリン妃の気遣いを実感した次第

間違いのない、義理嫁キャサリン妃ってとこでしょうかw

ピアスはダイアナ元妃ゆかりのもの

バッグはおそらくNEW

《マルベリー》

のクロスボディで、昨年のウィンブルドンで初お目見えしたバッグの

色・素材違いのようですね。

これは確かに使いやすい、バッグですね。

a training site for arts and culture

greeted upon arrival by representatives of the Prince's Foundation

met students from the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts who were working on mosaic, geometry, animation and photography. The royals visited the oldest part of the studio -- Future Textiles Studio and Pattern-cutting Studio. In a former life it served as the Hemp Store where dock-workers made rope from hemp

Soukayna and Safiya showed Kate and Camilla their designs for jumpers they are making as part of the course. Kate said, "It's fascinating to see how the whole process works, it’s a great idea." Camilla joked, "I did it so long ago but I'm very bad at it now."

"In the Clore Drawing Studio, Their Royal Highnesses engaged with tutors and students. Students on the Prince’s Foundation diploma year programme will be practising life-drawing

'In the sculpture class, students were creating head shapes with wax.

"Kate talked about how hard it was to work the wax. I told her that it doesn't help when you've got really cold hands," Cara MacKay, 18, says.

Florence Harrison, 19, was another student on the foundation course between school and university.

"They were really lovely and really friendly," she said of the royals. "I spoke to Kate about the concept of translating a life drawing at school from 2D to this 3D shape. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly they were."

The Prince's Foundation Diploma is a skills-based course described as "incredibly dynamic". Classes of up to 60 students study 5 days per week, focusing on the links between traditional skills, innovation and creativity

The Prince's Foundation was created four years ago, in a merger of several of the Prince of Wales' charities: the Prince’s Foundation for Building Community, the Prince’s Regeneration Trust, the Great Steward of Scotland’s Dumfries House Trust, and the Prince’s School of Traditional Arts. The ethos of the foundation rests on the pillars of sustainability, education, training and supporting communities.

the Foundation's website:

'We work nationally and internationally but at the heart of our organisation is the heritage-led regeneration of the Dumfries House estate and its wider community, where our principles and philosophies are explored and put into practice.
The work of The Prince’s Foundation is inspired by The Prince of Wales’s philosophy of harmony: that by understanding the balance, the order and the relationships between ourselves and the natural world we can create a more sustainable future.
For more than 40 years His Royal Highness has been at the forefront of championing sustainability. During the last decade the impact of natural resource depletion, climate change and rapid urbanisation has become evident and widely understood. The work of The Prince’s Foundation is inspired by the belief that only by taking a holistic view can we create a sustainable future to meet the needs of our world.'
