SIR – There was much legal controversy when Prince Charles married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005 as many considered her unsuitable for the heir apparent, but her personality endeared her to everyone when they visited a hospital in their early days together.

Now, eight years later as Duchess of Cornwall, she is about to embark on her first solo overseas visit and travel by train to Paris to learn about the work of a leading homeless charity of which she is the UK patron (T&A, April 26).

What’s the betting the Duchess will take the city by storm?
