Just like the rest of us, Britain's royal family have had to adapt to working from home as the Covid-19 pandemic rages on.

Whether hosting Zoom sessions, taking part in virtual meet and greets or recording video messages remotely, members of the family have brought their engagements into the digital realm in the past year.

And, this week, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall offered a glimpse of her revised home office, as she held a video call with SafeLives.

The royal, who is a patron of the charity that supports victims of domestic abuse, dialled in from the Morning Room at Clarence House, the residence she shares with Prince Charles.

In the video call, Camilla, 72, gave viewers a rare glimpse inside the royal residence, which was filled with objets d'art and paintings.

Sortie de l'Eglise, Jamaique, a 1961 painting by Sir Noel Coward, could be spied in the background, as well as a small bust of a young Queen Elizabeth II.

Another painting, Lady in a Pink Ballgown with Gentleman in Green by Walter Sickert, sat behind the duchess, as well as a photograph of then-Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who went on to become the Queen Mother.

Camilla sat in front of a large glass-topped wooden desk, a recent addition to the room, showing even the royals have had to make continued adaptations to their home in an era of remote working.

The desk was not present in the same spot when Prince Charles met with Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, at Clarence House in December.

Prince Charles and Camilla have been staying at Clarence House throughout the pandemic.

During her call with SafeLives, the duchess spoke with the charity's chief executive Suzanne Jacob and Rachel Williams, SafeLives pioneer.

The trio highlighted the UK government's new Ask for Ani initiative, which encourages domestic abuse victims afraid to report crimes to seek help at their local pharmacist.

By requesting to speak to 'Ani', victims will be taken discreetly to a back room where they can make calls and discuss options open to them.
