The Duchess, an avid Austen reader, was taken on a tour of the author’s former home in the village of Chawton, near Winchester in Hampshire, and was shown clothing from recent television and film adaptations of the 19th-century author’s work, including Mr Darcy’s shirt.

“But he’s not in it, that’s a bit sad,” Camilla joked after being shown the shirt by Lizzie Dunford, director of Jane Austen’s House, who replied: “I know, that’s sad, and it’s not quite as damp as it was.”
The Duchess was delighted with the Austen home tour
The duchess quipped: “You could give it a good spray.” Speaking about Mr. Darcy’s shirt, Ms. Dunford told Camilla: “It’s a wonderful artifact, one of the reasons we wanted to show it was that 1995 production was so transformative for people loving Pride and Prejudice.
“That scene, we all watched it, everyone, and this production brought so many people to Jane Austen, which is why it’s quite a significant artefact.”
