But Camilla had a very candid moment yesterday as she was caught grimacing and recoiling in horror after being handed a pet toy - modelled on Boris Johnson.
The royal, 72, and her husband, Prince Charles, 73, were spotted browsing along the High Street in Clapham Old Town, southwest London, before stopping outside up-market pet store, Rex and Wolfe.
But as Prince Charles looked in the front window and chatted to a store worker, Camilla was standing nearby with a face of horror as someone handed her a dog toy modelled after the Prime Minister.
The £17.50 toy is widely available from card and pet stores, and similar styles are also on sale modelled after Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn, Donald Trump, Micheal Gove, and Nigel Farage.

The royal, 72, and her husband, Prince Charles, 73, were spotted browsing along the High Street in Clapham Old Town, southwest London, before stopping outside up-market pet store, Rex and Wolfe.
However, despite her adverse reaction, the Duchess was seen accepting the toy, and wandering off with it as she and her husband moved on down the street.
The funny moment was captured on camera by Becca Eaton, who paused during a run to watch the royals.
Becca, 28, said: 'It was quite funny to watch - just a really candid reaction from CamillaPrince Charles was peering into the shop and chatting to someone inside, but Camilla looked horrified as she was handed the Boris Johnson dog toy.
'She kind of stepped back away from it, and the look on her face was priceless.
'But she did take it, though - and she wandered off down the street with it as her and Prince Charles moved on.

'She probably gave it to one of her dogs to destroy,' Becca added jokingly.
'I don't know what they were doing there - I think they were just having a browse through the shops, and I think I heard someone saying they were off for lunch.
'It was pretty cool to see them.'
The couple yesterday visited the leafy London borough to celebrate non-essential shops re-opening following the easing of coronavirus restrictions.

From stepping into a barbershop to sipping a pint at The Prince of Wales pub, Charles appeared in good spirits as he enjoyed a jam-packed morning - which also included a trip to the Michelin-starred restaurant, Trinity, run by chef Adam Byatt.
Charles and Camilla have two Jack Russels - Bluebell and Beth - who are often spotted with them on royal occasions - and will no doubt enjoy the new toy.
The squeeze treat is currently on sale at card shop Scribbler for £8.75 reduced from £17.50.
