Στη Χαλκιδική συνεχίζουν τις διακοπές τους Κάρολος και Καμίλα  

Τις διακοπές τους στην Ελλάδα συνεχίζουν ο πρίγκιπας 

της Ουαλίας Κάρολος και η Καμίλα Πάρκερ.

Μετά την Κέρκυρα το ζευγάρι με την πολυτελή θαλαμηγό του κατέπλευσε ανοιχτά 

της Αμμουλιανής. 

Στη Χαλκιδική κατέφθασαν την Παρασκευή και σύμφωνα με το ρεπορτάζ

 του halkidikifocus.gr, το ζευγάρι, που συνεχίζει τις καλοκαιρινές διακοπές του 

στην Ελλάδα, το απόγευμα της ίδιας ημέρας δείπνησε σε εστιατόριο στην

 παραλία της Μεγάλης Άμμου.
Αργότερα έκαναν οι δύο τους βόλτα στα γραφικά σοκάκια του νησιού ενώ η 

 βραδιά περιελάμβανε ποτό για το πριγκιπικό ζεύγος.

Μαζί τους στη Χαλκιδική υπάρχει πολυμελής συνοδεία ενώ για τη μετακίνηση από

 τη θαλαμηγό προς το νησί και αντίστροφα χρησιμοποιείται μικροτερο  σκάφος .
