looked chic today as to attend an event celebrating the life of the city’s famous literary heroine, Aphra Behn – and royal fans had one thing to say about her appearance.
Camilla unveiled a statue of the writer outside the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge, as well as a library, museum, and gallery.

The brooch was a wedding gift to the Queen Mother’s own mother, Cecilia Nina Bowes-Lyon, Countess of Strathmore, who gave it to her daughter before she passed it down to Elizabeth II.
But it was Camilla’s beige boots that caught royal fans’ attention, with many praising her on her sartorial choice.
One user said on X: “The boots are quite nice. She’s had other boots I like as well.”
A second one added: “Boots can be hit or miss for me but I absolutely love these [heart eyes emoji] and she looks lovely as well!”
A third one wrote: “The Queen can really rock those boots! She looks amazing!”
During her visit, Camilla toured the building, meeting various local groups, and when she saw Fergie, a golden retriever guide dog whose partially-sighted owner Susan Mason was taking part in a “sensing culture” class, she could not resist giving the canine’s belly a rub.

The royal chatted to children learning about changes in producing the written word, from typewriters to early computers, and others listening to a reading of Michael Morpurgo’s book There Once Is A Queen
She also revealed that she adopted a rescue puppy after she was left heartbroken by the death of her beloved dog, Beth.
The Queen told Ms Mason, 66, from Herne Bay, Kent: “I’ve just got a new puppy who’s eight weeks old.” When asked what breed it is, Camilla replied: “You may well ask. A bit of everything. It’s a rescue dog. It’s called Moley – looks just like a mole.”
Beth, a Jack Russell terrier, was adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, just like her other rescue dog, Bluebell.
It is understood new puppy Moley is also from Battersea, the famous animal rescue centre in south London Camilla supports as patron, and could well be small in stature like a Jack Russell, known for their big personalities.
Before leaving Canterbury, Camilla went on an extensive meet-and-greet, shaking hands with more than 200 people lining crash barriers, including Eliza, the two-year-old granddaughter of Kate Handley, 68, from Canterbury.
