Prince Charles to name pub after Camilla
The Prince of Wales has requested that a pub being built in his Dorset village be named after his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The village of Poundbury in Dorset
Poundbury – a self-contained urban extension on the outskirts of Dorchester – is built on land owned by the Duchy of Cornwall.
Work on the village began in 1993, built according the architectural ideas of Prince Charles, and it is now home to 2,500 people and 170 businesses.
Building is currently in progress on a new pub for residents with the Prince requesting that it be named after his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, as reported by the BBC. The 20-room inn is located in Poundbury’s equally royal Queen Mother Square.
The Duchess of Cornwall Inn, as it is expected to be called, is due to open in early 2016 and is a joint development by the Duchy of Cornwall and brewer Hall & Woodhouse.
