Tea for two as Camilla enjoys a cup of tea with Prince Charles
IT might not have been the most romantic setting, but Prince Charles and Camilla celebrated Valentine’s Day yesterday with a cuppa at the market.
With no butler or bone china to hand, Charles, 64, and his wife helped themselves to sugar with their £1 mugs of tea. “That’s what I like to see, someone doing a bit of work,” Maria Moruzzi – who will have been in the family business at London’s Borough Market for 50 years next year – told them.
Her stall was recommended by the Dean of Southwark, the Very Rev Andrew Nunn, a regular customer, who accompanied the couple. Charles and Camilla were at the 1754 market to reopen it after a three-year development.

Camilla, 65, was presented with Valentine’s Day gifts, including flowers and a large chocolate heart.
Asked whether someone else ought to be giving her flowers, she confided: “Don’t worry. He hasn’t forgotten.”
