The royal couple headed to the Sandringham Flower Show on Wednesday. The annual event, held at Queen Elizabeth's Sandringham estate in Norfolk, hasn't taken place since 2019 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Taking place against the backdrop of Sandringham House and St. Mary Magdalene Church on the estate, the one-day show attracts around 20,000 visitors each year. Charles, 73, and Camilla, 75, toured the stalls and chatted with local florists and craftspeople. Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall Turns 75!
