Charity bag-packing is something of a Christmas custom, and Charles and Camilla spent a few minutes packing Christmas hampers today at a London housing estate where waste ground has been converted in vegetable patches.

Like many men, Chaz struggled to do a neat job. As he packed the goods and attempted to tie a gold ribbon around the packages, Charles said to Camilla: "Have you really done all these, darling? I am really hopeless at this."

"Leave it to the expert," Camilla replied.

Sounds like Christmas.
