I just realized that you must have replied to an earlier post and not the one you copied.

I am approximately of the same age as Camilla and after putting on 30 lbs in the last 10 years I have gone from US size 8 to a 12. Looking at the pictures the photoshopping slimmed her down with aroung 30 lbs - only 13 - 14 kilograms by the way.

Yes I was replying to an earlier post however, I couldn't see what promoting holistic and organic living had to do with a magazine choosing to airbrush 1 or 2 pounds off of someone.

In the UK, a lot of us seem to work with Stones, pounds and ounces! :) I wouldn't know what a kilogram looked like if it jumped up and bit me but, I do have some idea what a gain of 30lbs looks like.

A close friend gained 30lbs (2st) and went from a UK size 14 to a size 18/20.

The date's at the bottom of the article in a tasteful pale orange that you really have to be looking for in order to see. It's today's date (28 April).

The article says "next Saturday," which in British parlance would be Saturday next week. Most of the references to the wedding I've seen say "in May," which would be consistent with the end of next week.

Are we talking about a magazine taking pounds OFF? I thought their bread and butter was more in the nature of ADDING for effect? We are talking about the 'Press' aren't we?

Yes, they are doing so. Camilla looks so fresh today. I think she has lightning her hair...or is it the colour of her dress? Or the whole circumstances? :)

I think it is a bit of everything. She is certainly a glamourous Mother of the bride.

Charles was his usual impeccably turned out self! :)

It was the presentation of new colours to an army regiment I believe. It's nice to see the wedding outfit getting an airing because she really does look lovely in it.
