Duchess can’t wait to ditch masks

- By Tony Jones

THE Duchess of Cornwall has admitted she can’t wait to stop wearing face masks as she toured the RoyalWelsh College of Music and Drama with a rather windswept-looking Charles.

Camilla, 73, told student William Pearson “I can’t wait to get rid of these” before touching her mask.

She was also wearing a £130 Fitbit Charge 4 Fitness Tracker on her wrist which helps wearers track their efforts to stay in shape.

The royal couple were at the Cardiff-based college, where Prince Charles is patron, to learn how staff and students have been coping during the pandemic.

They were treated to performanc­es of music and drama by the students who, with the help of lecturers and tutors, have managed to continue their studies despite Covid.

Charles’ official harpist Alis Huws, who is a graduate of the college, also gave a performanc­e.

Zoe Goriely, 24, who completes an MA in acting this month, gave a heartfelt rendition of a scene from Shakespear­e’s The Two Gentlemen Of Verona.

Afterwards she said: “It’s lovely to be able to do what we love to do, for people who love what we do.”
