Prince Charles and Camilla

Prince Charles and Camilla

Britain's Duchess of Cornwall enjoyed a cooking master class yesterday (25.06.13).

The royal teamed up with celebrity chef Jenny Bristow for an oatmeal muffin master class at Broughshane Library, in County Antrim, Northern Ireland, in order to teach a group of excitable four year olds how to cook up the delicious treat.

The visit was to celebrate National Bookstart Week in the country and this year's Fairy Tales theme sees the library focus on popular story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'.

Libraries Northern Ireland Chief Executive Irene Knox said: "It was a tremendous day for Broughshane Library and we are delighted that the Duchess emphasised the importance of books."

Earlier in the day, Camilla and Prince Charles took a ride on a new ultra-low carbon double-decker bus.

The royal pair were given the opportunity to tour the Wrightbus factory in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, which won a £200 million contract to supply 600 hybrid-engine vehicles to London, before being prompted to enjoy a stress-free ride on one.

Robert Alexander - who has worked at the plant for 49 years - said: "It was an honour to meet Prince Charles, he was very down to earth and talked to people and it went very smoothly and the staff seemed to enjoy it.

"After he shook hands with me he did go into the crowd of the men and shake hands with them, which I thought was very nice."

Each double-decker - which costs around £345,500 - has an estimated lifespan of 14 years and is believed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the English capital by 20,000 tonne a year.
