WHAT might the Duchess of Cornwall be looking at on the photographer’s smartphone? Given the technology built in to such devices these days, it could be any number of things.
A text message, or a new app, or a photo? Our readers were split on this important matter:
- It’s a text from the Prince, Ma’am. He says he won’t be home till late; so please keep his supper in the Aga (Richard Hough)
- I think it’s the new CofE dating app, Kindred & Affinity (Richard Barnes)
- The new Where’s Charlie? app was proving endlessly diverting (Steve Tilley)
- Oh, and this picture is another of my grandchildren who sings in the same choir (Lynda Sebbage)
- And here’s a picture of my latest grandson, and he’s an Archie, too! (Lesley Cope)
- And this is one of our pet Rottweiler, Odif (Richard Strudwick)
Remember to gamble responsibly, Your Royal Highness:
- Camilla casually slipped away from her official duties to check out the result of the 4.15 at Newmarket (Alison Parry)
- “Any tips for the 2.30 at Kempton?” (Andrew Greenhough).
Line of Duty viewers know only too well that smartphones make excellent tracking devices:
- Unfortunately for him, Charles was blissfully unaware that Camilla was actually watching his every move (Mark Parry).
