Charles And Camilla Touring India.

The Prince of Wales and his wife Camilla attended a lavish reception in New Delhi, India after they flew in to the country Sunday. During the event, Prince Charles and Camilla met with several members of the English cricket team, who are currently playing in India. They are also expected to visit a village in rural Punjab.

The pair flew to India following an official tour of Egypt, during their three-day stay in Cairo, Camilla, a keen horsewoman, insisted they visit a charity hospital for horses and donkeys. Charles and Camilla then traveled to a desert oasis town and laid a wreath at the Commonwealth War Grave Cemetery at El Alamein.

When asked how it felt to be in India, the Prince, who last visited India in 2003, said, "I love coming here. It is emotional." Charles and Camilla, who tied the knot last April, are due to meet with local craftsmen and organic farmers during their trip.
