ShelterBox president Kerri Murray went to pot when she met King Charles and Queen Camilla at Buckingham Palace last week!

Kerri also met Camilla at an event at the tony twosome’s private residence Clarence House, formerly the London home of the late Queen Mother.

The latest event celebrated the anniversaries of four humanitarian organizations, ShelterBox, Christian Aid, Islamic Relief, and International Health Partners.

Kerri and the merry monarch enjoyed a humorous moment with her stainless-steel pot, a key part of cookware sets the charity delivers to displaced people around the world.

Charles joked: “Is that the till?” referring to a receptacle for cash donations.

“We both laughed and I shared how important a simple cooking set can be for a displaced family,” says Kerri. “To be able to prepare and share a hot meal when you have lost everything helps to restore a sense of routine and normalcy for a family.”

Charles told Kerri his wife is a “fond supporter.”

Kerri replied: “We love your wife,” with Charles responding: “So do I.”

The royal duo, as the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, were first introduced to ShelterBox in 2006 while on an official visit to Pakistan after the Kashmiri earthquake.

Camilla became a patron and still is after a major review of 1,000 charities.

Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, was also at the party along with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, royal cousins.
