CAMILLA SUPPORTS HER LEADING MEN CHARLES AND TOM

SEND TO A FRIEND

13 OCTOBER 2006

It was a busy day for the Duchess of Cornwall on Thursday as she attended a memorial ceremony in the heart of London before turning out to support her son Tom for the launch of his new book in Kensington Palace.

Camilla must have been proud when the cream of British society arrived for her son's big moment. Lady Gabriella Windsor and her brother Freddie were both on hand, along with Zac Goldsmith and his wife Sheherazade, as the culinary expert debuted his new tome The Year Of Eating Dangerously.

Tom described the unusually titled work as a "travel book about weird food". And those with a penchant for extraordinary eats are sure to fascinated, as the author takes readers on a gastronomic odyssey that sees him indulging in everything for water beatles in Laos to super-hot chilli in Mexico.

Absent from the assembled guests was the Duchess' stepson Prince Harry, who has jetted out to South Africa to be with his girlfriend Chelsy Davy when she celebrates her 21st birthday this weekend.

It was a rather more serious occasion when Camilla joined Prince Charles earlier in the day for the unveiling of a new sculpture, however. The elegant marble globe was commissioned to commemorate all those who lost their lives in the Bali terrorist attacks four years ago in Indonesia. Located just opposite St James Park, it is engraved with 202 doves and stands before a wall bearing the names of those who died.
