Camilla celebrates her 73rd birthday with a new photograph in Clarence House garden

The Duchess of Cornwall was seen enjoying the summer sun in the Clarence House garden to celebrate her 73rd birthday.

A new official photograph shows a smiling Camilla, wearing a blue silk linen Anna Valentine dress, while standing in the green foliage at her London home.

Anna Valentine is one of her favorite brands. She designed Camilla's wedding dress and more recently the blush dress she wore at the Order of the Garter. Valentine has created many of her most memorable fashion moments over the years.

Camilla is celebrating her birthday on Friday. She was born on July 17, 1947.

Since lockdown started, she has been busy. She was present on Zoom calls where she discussed her daily routine. During one, she said she'd been doing ballet to stay fit. She said that she and four friends had been joining Royal Academy of Dance Silver Swans classes, designed for people over 55 to improve their posture and energy levels.

She has since returned to in person meetings in recent weeks. She has also been participating in "Clap for Our Carers."

In March, Prince Charles was diagnosed with coronavirus but he has since recovered fully. At the time, she self-isolated.

Throughout the pandemic, she has been focusing on her charitable duties.

In April, she and the Prince of Wales celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary with a new portrait of themselves at Birkhall, with their dogs.
