Meet the little girl who today charmed a Duchess.
Thirteen-year-old Georgina Gallagher from Port Phillip Specialist School, south of Melbourne, was among a group of students who met Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall at the Victorian College of Arts (VCA) this morning as part of the royal duo’s whirlwind tour of Australia.
Georgina and fellow students from the school for children with learning and intellectual disabilities sat with the Duchess and read from a series of children’s books — part of an ongoing literacy program run by the VCA in association with the Port Phillip Specialist School.

“Don’t you look smart with your yellow ribbon!” exclaimed the Duchess as Georgina stood to hug her.
“The students have been very excited all week,” explained Port Phillip Specialist School Assistant Principal, Alison Druce.
“They will be talking about this now for weeks.”
The reading session was one of several showcases put on for the royal couple at the College of Arts, including a choral recital, a stirring performance from a 100-student-strong choir and a series of an impressive dance displays.
