Britain's Duchess of Cornwall will meet soldiers wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan today (22.10.09).

Camilla - who is married to Prince Charles - is due to visit Headley Court in Epsom, one of the military's top rehabilitation centres.

Once there, the 62-year-old royal will talk to patients who are learning to use state-of-the-art robotic arms after losing limbs serving their country.

Camilla's stepson Prince Harry has already visited the centre with his brother Prince William after a friend, Ben McBean, lost an arm and a leg in Afghanistan.

The centre is also caring for several members of Camilla's own regiment, 4th Battalion The Rifles, of which she is Royal Colonel.

The duchess will also be shown a new piece of equipment which has been developed by NASA.

It will help injured servicemen and women with their physiotherapy.
