The Duchess tested negative for COVID-19, after her husband Prince Charles was confirmed as having the deadly virus in March. Despite this, Camilla had to spend 14 days in quarantine at her residence in the Scottish Highlands, before being released from her confinement on Monday. The Duchess immediately returned to work, chatting on the phone to an elderly woman who had also been self-isolating for the same period of time.
In her conversation with 85-year-old Doris Winefield, a mother of three from Rickmansworth, England, the Duchess opened up on how difficult it was to be separated from loved ones in times of distress.
While admitting she was able to see her two children and their families by using the Houseparty app, Camilla said that what she missed above all was not being able to hug her five grandchildren.
Ms Winefield told the Duchess that she speaks frequently with her three daughters, but that living alone was difficult.
She said that missed her friends and the active social life she enjoyed before the lockdown was imposed.
Ms Winefield was delighted to have had the chance to talk to Camilla and said it had made her day.
She revealed: “Having a chat with the HRH The Duchess of Cornwall meant the world to me.
“I’ve been incredibly lonely over the last couple of weeks and it was wonderful to talk to her.
“We talked about life in isolation and shared hobbies, she was very interested in my family and how I was coping without them.

“Thankfully, the charity has a long and remarkable history of bringing willing volunteers together with the isolated and lonely.
“That experience is needed more than ever in these challenging times.
“Everyone working in the NHS is under unimaginable pressure day and night in this crisis.
“I feel sure that the presence of so many wonderful volunteers will encourage, as well as support, them.
“I salute each one of you – and thank you with all my heart.”
Last Friday, Prince Charles opened the new Nightingale NHS hospital, that will provide up to 4,000 beds for patients with COVID-19.
The Prince opened the emergency facility via video link from his Birkhall residence on the Balmoral estate.
Charles, 71, described the construction of the new medical facility as a "spectacular and almost unbelievable feat."
"It's an example -- if ever one was needed -- of how the impossible could be made possible."
