The Prince Of Wales & Duchess Of Cornwall Visit Australia - Day 1 (Photo : Getty Images)
A photo of Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, brandishing a knife at a terrified-looking Prince Charles is becoming viral. In the photo, taken while the couple were visiting the Seppeltsfield Winery in Barossa Valley, South Australia, the duchess told her husband "behave yourself," while smiling and holding the eight-inch slicer.
The Telegraph and other publications used the image taken while the royal couple were looking at hand-forged kitchen knives owned by cutler Barry Gardner from the winery. The mock horror look on the prince's face was accompanied by laughter from the royal entourage and senior staff of the vineyard.
The couple, who toured the winery, sampled wines made by the vineyard from their birth years, which was 1948 for Charles and 1947 for Camilla. He described the wine as "strong and bold," while she said it was "refined and elegant."
The couple flew to Australia after their New Zealand visit. They visited Tanunda, a small town where the prince danced with a Balmoral woman during a Scottish ball. His dance partner, 48-year-old Clare Morrow, was among the well-wishers who greeted the British monarchs. To remind him of that event, Morrow held a sign that read: "Charles! Thanks for the dance! Ghillies Ball!"
She was a maid in 1993 at the royal household with the task of cleaning Charles's suite at Balmoral. As reward for her service, tradition allowed Morrow a dance with the prince who was then married to Princess Diana. She eventually returned to Australia.
Prince Charles, in a senior moment, admits he does not remember the dance. Morrow says she hopes he does not think she is a stalker, which the duchess found amusing. Or was it the real reason she brandished the knife?
The couple was actually in Australia for the 97th anniversary of the national Remembrance Day to commemorate the end of World War I. The two also have separate itineraries with Camilla scheduled to trek through a paddock to watch dogs and pigs hunt for truffles at the Majura Valley in Canberra. Charles, meanwhile, will visit the National Museum of Australia, but the pair will be reunited when they plant trees at the National Arboretum, reports Royalcentral.
