What was Duchess Camilla’s childhood hobby?

Duchess Camilla then revealed: “I just love your drawings. I spent my whole life as a child doodling horses here, there and everywhere”.
Mr Mackesy replied: "Have you? Me too! That's what I always do."
The Duchess then compared hers to Mr Mackesy's saying: "I used to do it everywhere, but mine unfortunately haven't turned out like yours".
