The King, 74, and Queen, 75, stepped out to bustling Covent Garden in central London on Wednesday morning for their first joint public work since theircoronationweekend. After they were crowned at Westminster Abbey on May 6, they also attended the Coronation Concert on the grounds of Windsor Castle the following day.

Coordinating in blue ensembles, the royal couple kicked off their visit at St. Paul’s Church, which is known as the Actors' Church (17th-century diarist Samuel Pepys is said to have seen the first “Punch and Judy” show in the church’s Portico).

Queen Camilla spent some time with the Church’s Drama for Healing group, established in 2019, which works with women who have experienced domestic abuse. Tackling abuse of women has been a key part of Camilla’s public work for many years — and something she has taken with her as she became Queen.

She was told how taking part in drama classes at the Actors' Church has helped the women with their healing, giving them a sense of community and belonging.

At Covent Garden’s cultural heart is the Royal Opera House. At its Arcade, the couple met artists and staff from The Royal Ballet, The Royal Opera, the orchestra of the Royal Opera House and students from the Royal Ballet School — including some of those (chorus members, Amanda Baldwin and Luke Price) who had entertained them, and the rest of the royal family, at the Coronation Concert on May 7.
