The Duchess of Cornwall showed off her culinary skills as she joined Phil Vickery in the kitchen on This Morning.

Camilla and husband Prince Charles popped into the ITV daytime show on Wednesday to mark its 30th anniversary.

Their Royal Highnesses were greeted by presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, as well as Friday hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford.

Camilla helped Vickery to prepare mutton hot pot with honeyed parsnips before the couple were served a selection of English cheeses with Vickery’s homemade apple and date chutney, English wines and cider.

They were also introduced to Digby, the show’s guide dog in-training, who had Charles running after him when he stole a microphone.

They then sat down for a chat with Willoughby and Schofield which will air on Thursday’s show.

Schofield said he was “thrilled” to welcome the royal couple, deeming their visit a “fantastic way for us to celebrate our 30th anniversary”.

Willoughby added: “It’s been wonderful to welcome Their Royal Highnesses to This Morning. It’s an exciting year for us here, and it’s lovely to share with them some of our highlights.”

The TV duo had joked that they would tell Charles and Camilla that they “love them” after taking part in a rum tasting session ahead of the visit.

After the studio tour, Their Royal Highnesses attended a reception to celebrate the 90th anniversary of The Royal Television Society, also at ITV.

This Morning is on ITV, weekdays at 10.30am
