Kusanya Cafe is the kind of place where you can get a cup of coffee, check out the community board, print a school paper or simply jump on the internet. You'll see people huddled together over papers strewn across the wood tables or someone walking in simply to say hello to the small staff. Because the nonprofit cafe roasts its own coffee on-site in small batches, don't hesitate to order that lavender iced latte ($3.49) or a plain cup of coffee. The breakfast and lunch menu is lush with references to famous musicians, like the Lupe Tabasco breakfast sandwich ($2.29). It features a thin egg patty, with melted cheese and Sriracha on ciabatta, and you can add sausage, spinach and tomato for an extra charge. The cozy and brightly lit environment is exactly where you want to catch up on some work or meet up with friends. 825 W. 69th St., 773-675-4758, <a href="http://www.kusanyacafe.org/">kusanyacafe.org</a> — Grace Wong

Others are gifts from Charles or foreign dignitaries, including an "eye-popping necklace of thirty-seven large rubies interlaced with hundreds of diamonds" from the Saudi royal family that, at that time, was estimated to be worth one million pounds.
As for her clothes, Smith described Camilla's wardrobe as "conventional and flattering: smartly tailored suits and dresses that loosely skimmed her body to minimize her curves."
"She was every inch a proper, well-upholstered, upper-class Englishwoman — a distinct change from Diana's flashy glamour — always mindful of keeping the spotlight on her husband," Smith wrote.
