Did she lay down the flowers? They are chatting a lot to each other, very nice. It is the hat from Order of the Garter?

It is the hat from Order of the Garter?

Or maybe from The Three Musketeers?

Yes, I think so. Charles said that Camilla lost three uncles in the WWI. I am not sure they can find the graves of them. But it is very touching to her lay down the flowers in front of the graves.

Wow..Camilla´s hat is wonderful..I like it soo much

 

[Incas]

The hat and the dress are beautiful on their own, but I don't like them together. The hat is too "heavy" for the light summer dress with sheer sleeves. It reminds me of something Queen Mary would have worn.

 

[Avalon]

Wow..Camilla´s hat is wonderful..I like it soo much

I don't. This actually must be the first hat of the Duchess I realy hate. It looked perfectly appropirate at the Order of Garter but for any other event, I really don't like it.

 

[ysbel]

It looked like some of the participants were wearing some styles from the WWI period. Nice touch but it looks a bit strange today.

 

[BeatrixFan]

I loved it. Very dramatic and very glamorous. I might get one for myself just to wear when I pop down the shops. Who is it by?

 

[Skydragon]

It looked like some of the participants were wearing some styles from the WWI period. Nice touch but it looks a bit strange today.

A number of descendants of those who fought in WW1, dressed in period custume and did the same march to the somme that there relatives were known to have done.

No more stress between C+C . I think the press can´t sustain their rumours.

But I really don´t like her dress from yesterday. It was good for El Alamein, but now it looks shabby. And she is looking 10 pounds more than normal.

 

[carlota]

camilla looks beautiful, and so so elegant and distinguished. the design of the hat is wonderful.

No more stress between C+C . I think the press can´t sustain their rumours.

They seem to have missed the fact that her father had just died, of course she cancelled her attendance at a couple of engagements.

As for the 'rumours',

 

[Incas]

What was Charles looking at with those eyewear?

 

[Will's princess]

[hornsen]
