Prince Charles and Camilla in Ghana after claims Queen is planning to hand over power

Camilla wore a pretty white gown with three-quarter length sleeves.

There were pretty feminine ruffles on the neck, which exposed some of her chest.

Camilla’s tanned décolletage was decorated by a pearl necklace, possibly a gift from Prince Charles.

On her feet Camilla wore nude pumps and in one hand she carried a parasol.

In the other she carried a raffia bag with bamboo handles.

Patriotically she wore a pretty poppy pin, to commemorate WWI.

Prince Charles, on the other hand, looked dapper in a beige double breasted suit.

He wore a beige and green striped tie.

The next-in-line to the British throne appeared thrilled to meet First Lady Rebecca, who wore a beautiful dress adorned with blue flowers.

Marriage to Prince Charles

Prince Charles told in his biography that he and Camilla had rekindled their love in 1986 after his marriage had “irretrievably broken down”.

They announced their engagement in February 2005, which was the Queen Mother’s.
