The Duchess of Cornwall, who has been a high profile campaigner for literacy in the past, has given her support to the campaign in years gone by. But this time round she appears as a judge. Her appearance in the cartoon comes at the very end and although her line is short, it sums up the whole competition - 'So, what story are you going to write?' asks the duchess in her cartoon form. And it might not be the last we hear from Camilla on 500 Words - one of the prizes in the contest is to hear a famous voice read out the winning stories. And the voices don't come much more famous than Camilla's - which means that the Cartoon Duchess could well be giving way to the real thing in Shakespeare's famous theatre when the contest comes to an end.
