With a priceless silver snuff box made for one of the King's ancestors, the Queen Consort (left) will appear on Antiques Roadshow on Tuesday. The intricately detailed work was created for Prince Regent in 1811 from rare Cornish silver with a gilt interior. Camilla Campbell of the BBC One show shows the box to silver expert Duncan Campbell on tonight's episode. "I wanted to bring something that was associated with Cornwall," she tells him. Now it doesn't exist anymore, but there was a silver mine for Wheal Duchy, 40 minutes away, and the result of Wheal Duchy. It was given to a forefather of my husband's.'
