Cornish clotted cream helps make Queen’s birthday bash sucess - The Pasty sells saffron cakes from Cornwall and Cornish pasties

Prince Charles may be the Duke of Cornwall, but he’s not the only royal with an interest in things Cornish.

Queen Elizabeth’s 80th birthday celebrations were topped off by none other than Rodda’s Conish Clotted Cream.

Peter Carter, the Consul General in Milan, wrote to Rodda’s to tell them how they had helped make a reception to mark the Queen’s 80th birthday successsul.

“It was a particular pleasure to serve your clotted cream, which is one of my personal favourites,” he said.

Prince Charles was terrified angry fans of Princess Diana would shoot him, according to the producers of a new movie.

The Queen, starring Helen Mirren, will show the Prince of Wales telling his mother about his fears of an assassination attempt, in the aftermath of Diana’s death.

Although the film is fictional, producer Andy Harries said he had uncovered evidence of Charles’ fears from three separate sources close to him.

He said: “There is no doubt that he was worried he would be shot. Lots of people told us that he was obssessed with the possibility of some sort of attack. He saw himself as someone who might be blamed by the public for driving Diana away and he thought that might trigger something.”

Prince Charles opened his home for public tours, today, for the the fourth summer in a row.

Fans of the Duke of Cornwall got the chance to explore Clarence House in central London, which has been Charles’ home since 2003.

The 19th Century property was formerly the home of the Queen Mother, until her death in 2002, and still houses her collection of art and furniture.

Clarence House was designed in the 1820s by architect John Nash for the Duke of Clarence, later King William 4th, and was build for a little over £22,000.

Queen Elizabeth II lived there after her marriage to Prince Philip in 1947.

Charles, 57, is at the Castle of Mey, his holiday home on the northeastern tip of Scotland, which he also inherited from his grandmother.
