Berkeley rolled out the red carpet for the green Prince last Monday when Charles and Camilla stopped by the Martin Luther King Jr. Edible Schoolyard, where kids grow organic vegetables and cook healthy meals under the auspices of Alice Waters’ Chez Panisse Foundation.

Prince Charles, long an ally of sustainable agriculture, also took his newly minted missus to an organic farm and several farmers’markets in Marin County. Camilla deviated from the path of royal restraint, sampling everything from heirloom apples and wild salmon to organic cheese and wine.

A crumb of organic pizza on Camilla’s not-so-stiff upper lip had the British press clucking their collective tongue, but the Duchess clearly won herself a whole new set of fans on this side of the Atlantic. Diana called her the Rottweiler, but to the Californians she charmed, Camilla was nuthin’ but a chowhound.
