Camilla looks stunning.

Indeed everyone does look stunning.

Again, I wish there would be pictures of the other royals....the Gloucesters and the Kents.

Has anyone found a copy of Obama's speech? In it he supposedly makes a reference to Sasha and Malia riding in a carriage at Buck House.

Ahh, I wasn't sure if it was UK only. I am glad it's not.

The end is priceless The Queen and the Duke clearly see the funny side of it. Awww poor mr Obama feeling a little lonely with the glass in his hand...

@ Scarebaby-

At White tie affairs any married woman may wear a tiara i believe.

[Duchessmary]

Yes, it must be so embarrassing for him.

Anyone who thinks someone looks good with a tan to my mind has a warped sense of what looks good - why would anyone want to admire someone who is harming themselves with a deadly practice, such as tanning - tanning, like smoking, is dangerous to the health of the practioner.

Yes, it's a deadly practice!
I'm surprised Catherine does this, she should know better.
Not only will she have skin damage and wrinkles, she will dry out her skin and look years older than she needs to!

Wow, after watching Obama's speech I'm a little ashamed to call him my President. First he only addressed the Prime minister and other distinguished guests half way through the speech, the proper way would have been to start; "Your majesty, your highness', Mr. Prime Minister, distinguished guests, ladies and gentleman." Then because of his not so formal approach to a very formal speech the band started playing because he proposed his toast, then kept on talking, then instead of realizing his mistake he didn't respect the British National Anthem he just kept talking. Then in the middle of the national anthem goes and tries to toast with the Queen. What a shame!

Michelle Obama looks stunning. But I am not a fan of that gigantic tiara that Camilla wears so often. It's just too big.

I haven't seen a photograph of Kevin Spacey but according to The Mail, the Countess of Wessex was seated next to him. Could she be the woman to his left? And I thought for such as an occasion like a state dinner in Buckingham Palace, if you have a tiara, wear it!

To be fair, its kinda hard to go on honeymoon in the middle of an island surrounded by nice beaches and blue skies and not get a little sunkissed

Michelle looks amazing. I love her dress. I also really like Camilla's outfit.

It seems the band started playing before Obama finished his speech.

It is quite easy actually - wear appropriate sun cream - I do it every year.

Most Australians do because we are taught the dangers so much these days and people of my age will probably know people who have suffered, and in my case, died of skin cancer - directly attributable to tanning.

Mrs. Obama's dress is "OK," but why is she wearing a pink jacket with an aqua dress?
