Continuing their Guernsey tour, Camilla and Charles visited Hauteville House, where Victor Hugo stayed during his exile. In another significant moment, the couple visited Les Cotils. There, they gave a Royal Title to the Golden Guernsey Goat breed.
The trip celebrated tradition and nature, but it was Camilla's bandaged foot that got everyone talking. She was also spotted walking with a slight lean, holding her umbrella.

As photos from the visit spread on social media, fans and royal watchers had many questions. "What happened to Her Majesty? Did She had an injury [sic]?" one netizen wondered. "What's Camilla done to her foot [sic]," asked another.
"Is Her Majesty using a cane?" someone questioned. "How did she hurt her foot [sic]," a fourth questioned. Amid the questions, one concerned fan wrote, "Please tell her that I hope she feels better soon. With her bad back, this could set her up for some extra pain. She doesn't deserve that."

The mystery behind Camilla's bandaged foot was later revealed. She reportedly suffered an ankle sprain the day before visiting Guernsey. While the exact cause of the injury remains unclear, it didn't stop her from fulfilling her royal duties.

According to the Telegraph on July 15, Charles and Camilla visited Jersey, another place that's part of the Channel Islands. Interestingly, for this rainy visit, Camilla showed no signs of injury.
She arrived at the island's Royal Square without a bandage. She wore a light blue dress and heels while Charles wore a light gray suit and pants and black shoes. However, their trip took an unexpected turn.
A "security concern" reportedly shortened their visit to an outdoor expo in St. Helier. The royal couple's personal protection officers instructed the King and the Queen to leave the premises.
The concern was raised as Charles chatted with the owner of the dairy shop Jersey Sea Salt, Matt Taylor, who was part of the expo. Matt recalled that while he was talking to Charles, the King's protection officer approached them and told him they had to leave immediately.

"He didn't seem panicked but he was quite stern. They just ushered him out. It's a shame as he'd stopped to chat to us of his own accord," Matt said of Charles. Meanwhile, Camilla was buying a tub of Jersey Dairy ice cream but was reportedly taken away by a security officer.

Eamon Fenlon, managing director of Jersey Dairy, who was also at the expo had just served the Queen an ice cream from a van before she was quickly escorted out by a protection officer.
"But when I turned back round she had been whisked off. Some of the other people told me it was a drone but whether that's official or not I don't know," Eamon recalled.

In addition to meeting Matt and Eamon, Camilla and Charles earlier met with other guests at St.Helier's expo. They learned about Jersey's agriculture, fishing, and aquaculture industries, emphasizing their efforts to achieve net zero emissions.
Charles also met with other vendors and was seen engaging in conversation with one who had bike displays. He appeared joyful during that encounter.

Camilla was also seen happily talking to a boy who caught a big crab from a pool. There were expo staff with IDs that oversaw the moment with the queen.
Despite the delightful community engagements in St. Helier, the protection officer escorted Charles and Camilla away and brought the couple to a nearby Pomme d'Or hotel for their safety.

Some stall owners at the St. Helier expo claimed the threat involved a drone. However, officials later confirmed it was a false alarm. The King and Queen then enjoyed a cheerful walkabout in the sunshine outside the hotel.
