My deepest respect to them. They really are brave. Do other royal houses undertake such trips?

First pics from their arrival you can see here:

Tell me, who was Camilla Parker-Bowles? If they don´t want to give her the HRH, then at least Camilla Mountbatten-Windsor, please!

Thank you for the pics Hornsen!
I´m just looking around to see the first pics of the Royal Couple in Kuwait!

They can make nice pics, but they don´t know the right name of the HRH...

I guess she has hidden a new necklace under her scarf.

The Abaca Press insists on calling her Camilla Parker Bowles, which didn't stop her from being every inch a Duchess (Princess), she looks great.

Thank you Avalon!
Nice pics, i like Camilla wearing one of her paschmina scarfs.
I think it is late evening now in Kuwait, so i think we can not expect more pics from today. But i´m looking forward to tomorrow, to the first ´real´ day of their visit.

I just see it is not a paschmina, maybe silk? Okay, i like the scarf....

Thanks for the pictures everyone.

Even though some of the pictures are a little dark, it looks as though she is wearing another beautifully cut trouser suit!

You're right Skydragon, it is a trouser suit!
Looks like a black suit over dark blue trousers and shirt.

Some more pictures from Polfoto.

Is that the Crown Princess? I thought she was an official from the Government.

Thanks for those pictures from Getty, they are much clearer!
And you were right, that was the Crown Princess.

A clearer view of Camilla's trouser suit.


And more pictures from Isifa.
