LONDON, Oct. 22 (UPI) -- The Duchess of Cornwall is scheduled to attend her first British royal banquet in honor of the King and Queen of Norway.

The wife of Prince Charles is expected to join Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the royal family at the dinner next week for King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and his pregnant wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit, reported Sky News.

Staff at Clarence House, the London home of Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, would not reveal any details concerning the attire of the former Camilla Parker Bowles. There has been speculation she will be required to wear a royal tiara for the first time.

Haakon and Mette-Marit attended Charles and Camilla's wedding in Windsor's St. George's Chapel. The princess is expecting the couple's second child in December.
