She has been busy with a string of royal engagements of late, but on Wednesday night Camilla was able to kick up her heels as she headed out for dinner in Mayfair.

The Duchess of Cornwall put on a glamorous display in a chic black dress adding a pop of colour with an elegant red pashmina as she arrived at the restaurant.

Her famous blonde bob was coiffed to perfection as she headed into to exclusive restaurant 34 Mayfair for Lady Jane Spencer-Churchill's birthday.

The famous grill is host to some of London's most prime beef cuts with steak prices ranging from £38 - £130 for a Japanese Wagyu fillet.

The 70-year-old royal looked set to celebrate beaming before the cameras as she headed into the restaurant.

Lady Jane Spencer-Churchill, who was celebrating her birthday, is a longtime friend of Camilla's so it was no surprise to see her in attendance.

It had been a busy day for the Duchess having paid a visit to a Cheshire prison on Wednesday afternoon.

Camilla was given the inside tale on how the lives of women inmates are being transformed as she visited the facility and its highly rated restaurant.

Avid reader Camilla, patron of The National Literary Trust, learned how the organisation’s Books Unlocked programme was helping prisoners develop a love of reading and improving basic literacy skills.

The Duchess also met prisoners working at The Clink restaurant, adjacent to the jail, where women with less than 18 months to serve are given the chance to earn City & Guilds NVQ qualifications in food service and food preparation and then helped to find employment within the hospitality industry on their release.

Opened in April 2015, Styal’s Clink – one of four in England and Wales – is open to members of the public and its swish reputation has earned it a current number one ranking on TripAdvisor for restaurants in Wilmslow.

The Duchess went on to meet prisoners who have benefited from the various work-based training and education programmes at HMP Styal.

One such initiative is Books Unlocked, a partnership between the trust and the Booker Prize Foundation which started in 2012 and involves prisons across England and Wales.

Prisoners are able to engage with Man Booker Prize-shortlisted titles which are sent out to reading groups.
