Charles and Camilla looked in great spirits today as they took a sunny stroll in the grounds of Hillsborough Castle.
The Georgian castle has undergone a £24 million refurbishment by independent charity Historic Royal Palaces in advance of its opening to the public later this month.
The property near Belfast is the official residence of the Northern Ireland Secretary and has been undergoing renovation for the past five years.
Charles, 70, looked smart in a blue suit as he strolled with Camilla who looked lovely in a forest green coat and dress, teamed with knee high boots.
The Prince of Wales, 70 and Duchess of Cornwall, 71, were in Northern Ireland on Tuesday where they attended the re-opening of the Hillsborough Castle
The Prince toured the castle's grounds and met with craftsmen and builders who participated in the project
A bit of chit chat before a big speech. Charles and Camilla enjoyed a moment of quiet conversation before unveiling a plaque to mark their visit
Charles' Prince's Trust charity was involved in the restoration process, and the royal said Hillsborough Castle was a 'special place' as he toured the gardens.
The heir to the throne expressed his hope that it will attract visitors from throughout Ireland.
Camilla broke off from her husband to make a solo visit to the new Clore Learning Centre in the castle's stableyard.
She was greeted by Rupert Gavin, chairman of Historic Royal Palaces, Tom O'Leary, director of public engagement at Historic Royal Palaces and Shan McAnena, public engagement manager at Hillsborough Castle and Gardens, before being shown an artwork by Rob Ryan.
Camilla, wearing a forest green coat and dress, was greeted by local children from Downshire Primary School who offered her a bouquet of flowers
Camilla paired her coat with a dress of the same colour and suede boots with a black clutch bag
Keep it classic like Camilla with a bag by Aspinal
The Duchess of Cambridge might have a handbag collection full of designer labels like Mulberry, Victoria Beckham, Alexander McQueen and Chanel, but the Duchess of Cornwall is giving her a run for her money recently!
We recently spotted her carrying the very same DeMellier style that the Duchess of Sussex also owns, and this chic little saddle bag is by Aspinal of London.
The top handle makes it very ladylike, but there's also a shoulder strap when you need to go hands free. The pebble-effect leather is a nice touch and it's the ideal size for all one's essentials.
You can even get initials embossed on this little beauty of a bag, so click (right) if it's the perfect present. For yourself or for someone else!
