 The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall are on the final day of three days of engagements in Scotland. Not that they won't be back very soon as the couple have previously suggested they're keen to live on a semi-permanent basis at their Birkhall home.Last night Charles and Camilla hosted a reception at Holyroodhouse in celebration of the 30th anniversary of The Prince's Trust. The Prince has been showing his pride in the Trust through a series of celebrations over the past few weeks.  Speaking to an audience in Scotland this week, the future King declared: "It is remarkable to hear the difference the Trust can make just from encouraging self confidence and self esteem.""This is what it is all about — giving self confidence and self esteem to develop talent." The royal couple's relaxed manner has won over a new generation of fans, including youngsters working with The Prince's Trust. Student 16-year-old Donna Townsley met Charles and Camilla when they visited Stevenson College, where they watched youngsters helping to clean up their community.  However, the young girl wasn't too sure who Camilla was!"I was really excited about talking to Prince Charles and he seemed really interested in talking to us. He was really down to earth, which was quite surprising. I thought he'd be really posh." "When I was speaking to him I asked him 'is that your wife?' and he just laughed and said she was. She asked if I was enjoying doing the work today and I said 'no, no really'. She just laughed and said 'it's a bit cold'. She was really friendly too." Comment on this article
