Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, is back at work and recently visited a training centre where dogs are taught to smell and detect the presence of coronavirus.
The wife of Prince Charles went solo for her visit to Milton Keynes Wednesday. The trial for coronavirus sniffing dogs is facilitated by a charity. She met and touched some of the dogs in training while opting for a face shield, as opposed to a face mask, to protect herself.
According to sources, Camilla likes face shields better than face masks because it's easier to communicate. It's also easier to see people smile or speak when their faces aren't covered but they are still protected from possible virus transmission.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said COVID-19 is caught via close contact and droplets. The agency does not think it's an airborne virus but some experts disagree.
Before her visit to Milton Keynes, Camilla wore a face mask when she visited the Ivydale Primary School in London Tuesday. The Duchess of Cornwall was there to commemorate International Literacy Day as classes in London have started. The royal met with students, teachers and parents while everyone observed social distancing.
The school also opened their new library and virtual collection courtesy of the National Literacy Trust. Camilla has been the patron of this organization since 2010
On Monday, the royal went solo once again for a royal engagement at The Rifles. In June, Camilla inherited the honorary title of Colonel-in-Chief of The Rifles from Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh.
While it has been a busy week for the duchess, she did have some time off on Tuesday evening. Camilla was seen at the Oswald's for night out with her friends. The luxury private club is known for serving the best wines.
Meanwhile, Prince Charles has not been seen returning to his royal engagements yet. The last time the Prince of Wales was spotted in public was during his summer trip to Scotland, where he was apparently excited to go fishing.
The heir to the throne was also at a special ceremony to mark what would have been the start of the Ballater Highland Games in the Queen Mother's place. The event was canceled this year due to the pandemic but Prince Charles still raised the flag to follow in the tradition from more than 100 years ago.
It is understood that Prince Charles and Camilla returned to London after their almost a month-long stay in Scotland in the first weekend of September.
