Prince Charles and Camilla in Egypt.

The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were out enjoying the 95F heat of Egypt yesterday as they strolled arm in arm around the oasis town of Siwa.

Overnight they stayed in a traditional Berber clay and wood hut at the Adrere Amellel Eco-Lodge where there is no electricty.

Earlier they watched as dozens of women sewed embroidered jeans destined for Italian fashion designer Ermanno Scervino, and to sell at £150 a pair ($260).

Camilla asked: “Are these all going to Italy? They’re so brilliant. My daughter [Laura] would love them.” She then asked to buy a pair, size 12, but was apparently bustled away as a supervisor asked for their address.

“A rather large palace in London,” someone shouted. Looks like Laura Parker Bowles will have pay London prices after all.
