Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) September 24, 2013 -- This September, Duchy Originals from Waitrose, the all-natural shortbread and biscuits brand founded by HRH Prince Charles, will celebrate its 21-year anniversary. This milestone will be commemorated at Natural Products Expo East at the Baltimore Convention Center from September 26-28 where Duchy will exhibit with Walkers Shortbread at booth #1137.
