The Princess of Wales visited a charity shop café in Norfolk on Thursday as royal patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospices.
The Princess of Wales made a surprise visit to Café 98 in Hoveton on Thursday. She was shown how to value donated clothes before they go on sale by East Anglia's Children's Hospices volunteers, and spoke with royal fans waiting outside the shop.
The café, which opened in 2024, serves as both part of EACH's fundraising operation and a community hub for local people. Roys of Wroxham presented the Princess with flowers and branded items including a beanie and cap during the visit.
Earlier the same day, the Princess visited The Treehouse in Ipswich to meet families, staff and volunteers and hear about EACH's expansion plans. She spent nearly an hour talking to children and families receiving care at the site, including four-year-old Primrose Harvey, who has a rare congenital heart defect called hypoplastic right-heart syndrome.
