The Duchess of Cornwall has hailed David Hockney s vibrant new exhibition as glorious and uplifting as she visits the reopened gallery wearing an arty face mask.
Camilla, 73, was viewing the Bradford-born artist s new works at the Royal Academy in London to celebrate its re-opening following the relaxation of coronavirus restrictions.
Alongside members of the public, the royal - wearing an appropriately arty face mask sent to her by a member of the public - marvelled at the 116 new creations on display.
