As Charles's wife, Camilla may be expected to serve him meals from the Dutchy Originals range. Shoptalk samples some of its extortionate delights.

SO OK Camilla you have one more day to be nervous...but once the honeymoon's over and you're down to the grind of everyday living, what are you going to give your new husband to eat?

Of course there'll be minions and menials to do the cooking and catering, as well as the shopping. But in those early days of wedded bliss, you might feel like doing a bit of menu planning yourself.

Tricky.

Now you are officially Duchess of Cornwall. Bad enough to find your face on the tea towels but do you realise that your new coat of arms is also on the biscuits? Not to mention the jam, bread, bacon, sausages and pies.

You may have married a prince, but he is also a food producer. Not quite on the scale of Sainsbury's, but small and beautifully formed.

Duchy Originals - they're named after the Duchy of Cornwall, hence the badge on the packaging - are wholesome and usually organic. They have been a bit of a pet project of your new husband and mean a lot to him. So he'll expect to find them on his table.

In case the royal household no longer runs to a food taster, we've been doing a bit of research for you.

BREAKFAST

"Breakfast like a king," says the old adage. While that might be a bit premature, you can certainly breakfast like a prince, or a duke and his duchess.

FREE RANGE DRY CURED BACK BACON, £2.89 for 184g

"Hand cured in Dorset from free range pigs reared in East Anglia and Yorkshire. They spend their lives outside in family groups and have warm shelters and straw bedding for shelter in the winter and shade in the summer."

Gosh, after all that pampering it, seems shame to eat them, but at least they had a decent life. It paid off too - excellent bacon.

FREE RANGE PORK SAUSAGES, £2.69 for 400g

Made from the same pigs as the bacon, these sausages are 85 per cent pork and taste very good.

ORGANIC PORK CHIPOLATAS WITH HONEY AND ROSEMARY, £3.35 for 340g

Gosh, these organic pigs are even more cosseted - not just warm shelter with straw bedding in winter but "cooling mud baths in the summer". What next? Spa treatments? Those pigs are spoilt. No wonder these sausages are pricey. But they taste good.

ORGANIC SUNFLOWER SEED AND HONEY BREAD, £1.35 for 400g

A bit dry and crumbly, but very nice toasted, and goes very well with...

HANDMADE COARSE CUT CLEMENTINE MARMALADE, £2.82 for 340g

"Made in Somerset with organically grown Spanish clementines, cooked gently in traditional copper boiling pans to preserve the bright aromatic peel and sweet flesh of the fruits."

A bit runny - inclined to drip down the front of the royal dressing gown perhaps - and also a bit sweet, but it has a good flavour and the chunky bits are nice and tender. Or there's...

RASPBERRY JAM, £2.45 for 12oz

Organic, handmade with added lime puree. Probably not as special as it thinks it is, but decent jam all the same. So that's the day off to a decent start, next stop is....

ELEVENSES

Fancy a nice cup of coffee and a biscuit before you go off and do all that waving to the public? Well you're in luck. Duchy Originals organic biscuits are excellent.

CHOCOLATE GINGER BISCUITS, £1.49 for 125g, LEMON COOKIES, £1.59 for 250g, SHORTBREAD £1.45, OATEN BISCUITS, £1.99

These all taste like the very best home made biscuits, of proper ingredients. Just so wonderfully wholesome. The oaten biscuits were the first Duchy Original product and are excellent with cheese. A bit pricey for us ordinary peasants, but a good product. If you don't fancy tea or coffee, then how about...

APPLE or LEMON REFRESHER, £1.79 for 750ml

The lemon refresher is apparently "based on a recipe used by the Prince of Wales's chefs at Highgrove. It was adopted as a family drink after His Royal Highness first tasted it with his great uncle, Lord Mountbatten. It used to be made for the farm workers at harvest time and was drunk on the stubble fields in the long evenings after a hot day's work." There, doesn't that paint a pretty picture? A decent drink too, especially the lemon, which has a nice grown-up bitter tang to it.

And, as far as food goes, that's probably the best part of the day over. If you skipped the sausage for breakfast, then do you fancy bangers and mash for lunch? If so, forget about the gravy...

DUCHY ORIGINALS FRESH ORGANIC GRAVY, £2.29 for 500g

This should be good. It's made with lots of good ingredients including organic chicken, turkey, white wine. But do you know what? It tastes absolutely disgusting with the foulest, fattiest texture that sort of clings to your throat.

You're right, We didn't like it. Make your own gravy.

TREATS

To take away the taste of that gravy, you can indulge in some little chocolatey treats. And indulge is the word.

"You do know how much these cost, don't you?" asked the concerned and kindly assistant in Lewis and Cooper's. As well she might.

CHOCOLATE GINGER THINS, £7.64 for 200g

Organic dark chocolate flavoured with natural oil of ginger. Dark, rich, crisp and delicious - and incredibly expensive.

CHOCOLATE ORANGE PEEL, £7.64 for 150g

These are bits of very nice orange peel dunked in dark organic chocolate. Oops, sorry, not dunked, but "enrobed" - well, I suppose we are talking royalty here. These are special - but not that special. And £7.64? It's all right for Camilla, who'll probably get a family discount, but as for the rest of us....

Maybe along with that distinctive coat of arms, Duchy Originals products should carry a wealth warning.

All the proceeds from Duchy Originals go to the Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation. Very laudable.

But maybe he should be charitable enough to bring the prices down a bit - so the rest of us can have the chance to eat like royalty.

* We bought our Duchy Originals in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Middleton Tyas village shop and Lewis and Cooper, Northallerton. There are many more items in the range, including some organic beer, which we haven't found, and some decent pork pies, which we bought a few weeks ago at Fortnum and Mason. For an heir to the throne, Prince Charles makes a decent pork pie.
