Her appearance in a visor comes a month after she first donned the plastic face covering, making her the first royal to do so.
However some social media users noted Camilla appeared to wear the visor ‘too high’ on her head to provide adequate covering of her face.
UK-based pharmacist Navid Sole also warned a visor is not as effective as a face mask in stopping the spread of Covid-19, although it is better than wearing no face covering.

The Earl of Wessex, 56, who lives with his wife Sophie, 55, and their children Lady Louise Windsor, 16, and James Viscount Severn, 12, at Bagshot Park, between Windsor and Guildford, visited Yvonne Arnaud Theatre yesterday.
His engagement came as a study warned that plastic face shields allow nearly 100 per cent of tiny airborne droplets released by coronavirus-infected patients to escape through visors.
It’s been a busy week for the Duchess, who yesterday met well-wishers to visit a cancer charity Maggie’s Barts, donning a green itak print facemask.
The Duchess, who has been president of Maggie’s since 2008, looked in high spirits as she made her way into the medical facility, wearing a stylish emerald green pleated dress – to the knee – and accessorising with a matching black leather Chanel handbag.

On her feet, looked to be a pair of smart black heels by one of the royal’s favourite brands, Sole Bliss.
As the Duchess arrived, she was greeted by Dame Laura Lee DBE, Chief Executive of Maggie’s. Camilla first became President of Maggie’s in November 2008 after a visit to the cancer care facility in Edinburgh in July 2008.
