Her Royal Highness, who was celebrating her 72nd birthday, officially named The Donkey Sanctuary's newest arrival, a three-week-old foal.

The foal, which The Duchess named Sweet Pea, was born into the care of the charity after her mum, Poppy, was relinquished to The Donkey Sanctuary when her owner could no longer care for her.

Her Royal Highness was welcomed to The Donkey Sanctuary by a group of year five and six students from Sidmouth Primary School.

The Donkey Sanctuary's CEO, Mike Baker, hosted Her Royal Highness during the visit and gave her a tour of the charity's global headquarters, which included the charity's multi-award-winning RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden that has recently been re-built at the Sanctuary.
