The Duchess of Cornwall has followed in the footsteps of Hollywood star George Clooney by visiting a sandwich shop which helps the homeless.
Camilla visited Social Bite in Edinburgh which employs and supports homeless people across Scotland and abroad.
The Duchess of Rothesay, as Camilla is known in Scotland, chatted with staff and happily obliged when asked for a selfie, much like Clooney did when he visited the same shop in November.

The Rose Street branch will also welcome actor and campaigner Leonardo DiCaprio later this year.
Camilla, who is a patron of Emmaus UK, a charity which tackles homelessness, spent time hearing from Social Bite staff who have themselves experienced homelessness.
Josh Littlejohn, co-founder of Social Bite, said: "It was nice to have another high profile visitor to the shop, it was just a really good experience.

"The Royal Family's office approached us and asked if she could come and visit. Maybe they saw it in the media when we had George Clooney here, I'm not quite sure how they heard about us. And we said of course come and see what we're doing."
The Duchess offered an impromptu invitation for staff to visit Dumfries House in Ayrshire, where Prince Charles is opening a youth employment hub.

Sunny Murray, 36 who used to be homeless but now works with Social Bite, said: "It was good. I never thought I'd meet a royal to be honest, but she was really nice.
"She was quite interested in what we used to do before Social Bite. I used to be homeless, and I used to use Social Bite and then fortunately enough I got a job with them.
"We asked her where she was before this and she said she was in Dumfries with Charles, and she's invited us to go down."

Biffy Mackay, a staff member who also used to be homeless, said Social Bite has given her "something to look forward to every day".
She managed to take the selfie with Camilla.
The Duchess purchased sandwiches and cakes and then forward paid meals for other homeless people and received a Social Bite loyalty card.

Bonnie Burton, the staff member who served her, said: "She was really nice. A nice wee woman. Really polite and lovely.
"She got a loyalty card and she promised she's coming back."
