Queen Camilla tried her hand at crafts during a visit to the recently restored Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings in Shropshire today.
Her Majesty, 76, joined a spring wreath-making workshop, where she was seen attaching felt daffodils to a foraged frame.
Camilla, who seemed to struggle with her design, joked that she has “a very creative side.”
“If I had the time, I would make this very pretty,” he joked.
For their outing, the royal was elegantly dressed in a camel coat and skirt by Anna Valentine, a leopard-print blouse by Fiona Clare, and suede Russel & Bromley boots.
Earlier in the day, he met with local volunteer groups at the Shrewsbury Food Hub and later unveiled a plaque commemorating his visit.
Her Majesty continues to fulfill engagements while King Charles and the Princess of Wales undergo cancer treatment.

More than 2,000 people came out to see the Queen in what was her first public engagement since Kate’s announcement.
Camilla has become the most senior royal to return to public duties since the monarchy’s double cancer scare.
Earlier in the day, she spoke to traders as she toured the market in the Shropshire town, which featured a host of food, craft, jewelery and craft stalls.
The Queen met market organisers, Jenny and Stuart Jones, before touring the historic event, which has been held in The Square for almost 20 years.

It has become one of the best markets in the area, with around 40 traders setting up stalls regularly on the first Friday of each month.
Camilla also visited the Old Market Hall, where she signed the visitors’ book, which was also signed by Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, before meeting members of the local Beekeepers’ Association.
It comes after Buckingham Palace confirmed yesterday that Charles will make his most significant public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer when he attends church on Easter Sunday.
Tomorrow, Queen Camilla will be present at the Holy Service at Worcester Cathedral.
His Majesty, on behalf of the King, will distribute the Royal Maundy to local pensioners in a service commemorating Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles at the Last Supper.
