Upon arrival, fashion designer Victoria, 50, nailed the royal curtsy as she greeted Her Majesty. Rocking a silky, teal-hued dress complete with rippling folds of fabric, the mother-of-four could be seen bobbing down with one leg crossed behind the other while shaking Camilla’s hand.

The organisation’s work

Also in attendance were the organisation’s founder, Ms Jude Kelly CBE, as well as young women and girls involved in WOW’s young people’s programmes which centre on gender inequality and promoting inclusion for the next generation.

WOW is a global movement and festival run by UK charity, The WOW Foundation. Since its genesis, the organisation has worked with 33 partners across the globe, reaching over five million people in 71 different locations including Australia, Brazil, China, Egypt, Finland, Greece, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Somaliland, the UK and the USA.

Other famous attendees

Joining VB and Penny were broadcaster and comedian Sandi Toksvig and actress and comedian Ruth Jones.

A description on WOW’s website reads: “Through festivals, events, schools programmes and more, WOW challenges the belief that gender equity has already been achieved – and hopes to join the dots between people, movements and ideas to change the world.

“In 2018 Jude Kelly left her role as Artistic Director of Southbank Centre to focus solely on the development of WOW as an independent charity. The WOW Foundation was established to fulfil WOW’s potential.”

Camilla’s outing on Tuesday comes after she joined senior royals at the Commonwealth Day service held at Westminster Abbey on Monday.

Camilla joined her husband King Charles, as well as other royals including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Princess Anne and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.

Embracing spring pastels, Camilla donned a candy pink coat dress crafted by Fiona Clare, which she teamed with a Philip Treacy hat topped with rippling petals.

She spruced up her look with a layered pearl necklace and slipped on a pair of nude pumps. Charles, meanwhile, looked his usual dapper self dressed in a navy suit and his trust Hermes tie peppered with owls and cats.
