A Wanganui woman is the proud new owner of a painting that was partly painted by Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
Clarence House On Waitangi Day by English-based New Zealand artist Mandii Pope and the Duchess is now hanging in Sally Ann McLachlan's London home.
The painting, on a 1.2-metre round board, shows an angled view of Clarence House - where the Duchess and husband Prince Charles live - with an English guard and a Maori warrior outside the front door.
Ms McLachlan told the Chronicle that she was drawn to the painting the first time she saw it, at a Waitangi Day gathering for the New Zealand Women's Association at New Zealand House in London.
"Camilla was our special guest of honour. She had expressed an interest to meet New Zealanders as she had much enjoyed her recent trip to New Zealand.
