Looking back to Charles and Camilla's evening at Myddfai in 2022

Last July, then-Prince Charles and wife Camilla arrived at their Llwynywermod residence, in Myddfai, near Llandovery, where they and guests were treated to an evening of Welsh talent.

The couple and their guests – which included First Minister Mark Drakeford, Carwyn Jones and Sara Edwards and Morfudd Meredith, the Lord Lieutenants of Dyfed and South Glamorgan – took to the barn which was lit with red, blue and purple lights and had gold paisley-covered chairs.

Royal harpist Alis Huws provided the background music and accompanied students from the Welsh College of Music and Drama (WCMD) – which Charles is a patron of – who serenaded the couple throughout the evening.

As the royal couple walked across the cobbles from the farmhouse to the barn, the Duchess’ outfit was a blue silk dress with a lily-of-the-valley motif and fawn court shoes, with an oyster-coloured cashmere pashmina and the now-king wearing a nay blue pinstripe suit with a cornflower in the buttonhole.

WCMD student Joseph Reynolds read Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas before pianist Alistair Hamilton, clarinettist Isaac Prince, soprano Elena Zamudio and cellist Tabitha Selley performed pieces for the couple and guests.

Drama students performed a scene from A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Sophie Atherton performed Victoria Wood’s Notes to the Piecrust Players.

Tenor Trystan Llyr Griffiths ended the musical performance. All of the performers were formally introduced to the royal couple, who questioned them on their tuition and ambitions for their careers.

Following this, the guests moved to the rear of the barn to mingle and enjoy champagne while the prince met a number of foreign diplomats who attended the event, for a chance to promote Wales culturally and economically.e performers
