Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall is spending her birthday on royal duty!
The royal, who turns 72 on Wednesday, is currently on a three-day tour of Cornwall and Devon with husband Prince Charles. While touring Devon, Camilla was greeted by some new friends: four-legged residents of the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary.
