Britain's Duchess Camilla is a 'real foodie'.

The Duchess of Cornwall - who is married to Prince Charles - loves sampling local dishes when on royal tours and takes a 'level-headed' approach to eating sensibly.

A source said: 'Camilla is a real foodie. Unlike the rest of the royals, who dont like to be seen eating in public too much, Camilla will try everything and enjoys a glass of red wine with her meals.

'She has a level-headed approach and eats good-quality organic food in moderation. Everything about Camilla is served up with a dose of good old English common sense.'

Camilla also favours a 'no make-up make-up' look which she has mastered thanks to tips from make-up artist Julia Biddlecombe.

Julia told the Daily Mail newspaper: 'She doesn't want to go the glam route.'

An insider added: 'These days, Camilla has such good skin she doesn't need foundation, so she often opts for a tinted moisturiser.'

The duchess has 'difficult to manage' hair and salon experts say she doesn't like to experiment with her locks.

Colourist Jo Hansford said: 'I try to keep her hair as warm-looking as possible.

'We don't want anything OTT, she's not one to experiment.

'Her hair is fine and can be difficult to manage, which is why I use bleach to give it body and oomph.'
