She took part in the ‘Guess the Mystery Object’ game with jewelery expert Geoffrey Munn and took a walk through the famous gardens of the Eden Project with the show’s presenter Fiona Bruce.

Bruce, who presented Antiques Roadshow since 2008, the host said the duchess was a “good sport” who “had the full roadshow experience”.

“I think the Duchess really enjoyed visiting Street show. He was such a good sport and spoke to a lot of our visitors here, the crew and our specialists,” she said.

“He brought a few items and our book specialist and silver specialist told him about them. So I’d say he had it all Street show experience – this is the last program we’re filming this year and what a great way to end it with such a special guest.”

Camilla also spoke to Sandra Matthews, 77, who brought a prayer book she believes once belonged to the famous 19th-century French actress Sarah de Bernhardt.

“Camilla was very interested because she knew who Sarah de Bernhardt was,” Matthews said.

Elsewhere, Camilla met former cabinetmaker Christopher Thorp, who had a furniture price book printed by the London Cabinet Makers Union in 1811.

Thorp, who has since retrained as a tropical ecologist working for Plymouth University, said the Duchess asked him about his former job and his interest in the history of the craft.

Antiques Roadshow returned to BBC One on Sunday for a new series, a guest who brought along a pair of Queen Victoria’s trousers to be appreciated.
