QuoteThe Duchess of Cornwall wore a regal shade of dark blue to attend the National Harvest Service in Birmingham.
Beaming from under a matching velvet hat the 67-year-old met dignitaries and clergy outside St Philip's Cathedral before heading inside where she was greeted by schoolchildren who showed her their harvest boxes of food which will be sent to the Birmingham Central Food Bank for distribution.
The Duchess of Cornwall looked resplendent in a blue ruffled dress which she paired with a matching velvet hat, and her favourite pearl necklace. The fashion conscious Duchess gave the outfit a more youthful twist by adding a white collar and cuffs.
