Making the most of the British weather, Camilla today opted to go coatless, wearing a simple blue tunic-style dress which skimmed her at the knee.

Proving she reigns high in the style stakes, the royal coordinated with a cream court shoe and matching bag, while her face mask perfectly complemented her dress.

Elsewhere, she opted for a natural make-up look and sported her signature curled blow-dry.

 On arrival at the company, Prince Charles visited the workshop where he saw a number of vehicles and discovered more about the production process.

The royal spoke to engineers and technicians about the cars, before taking the wheel of a green-coloured Rasa model – which is a lightweight, two-seat electric vehicle powered by hydrogen.

Taking it for a test-drive, Charles heard how the Rasa emits nothing but pure water vapour and is designed to minimise the particulates from tyres and brakes with its low weight, skinny tyres and high regenerative braking.
