Other celebrity sightings included Justin Bieber and Paris Jackson at a hand and footprint ceremony honoring her father Michael Jackson at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.
The ceremony was held to celebrate the Michael Jackson The Immortal World Tour by Cirque du Soleil.
The Duchess of Cornwall was photographed taking a look in the Arsenal dressing room at the Emirates Stadium in London.
The Duchess has joined forces with Arsenal striker Theo Walcott in a bid to inspire a love of reading in schoolchildren.
The pair launched the 2012 Premier League Reading Stars (PLRS) initiative to encourage youngsters and their parents to enhance their literary skills. Camilla and the England international met around 80 pupils at the Emirates Stadium in north London to talk about the initiative which sees footballers trying to encourage children and their families to read together.
The Duchess was also given a tour of the stadium and paid an impromptu visit to the club’s changing rooms. "I am rather tempted by the bath," she said after peering into the players’ communal tub.
