The duchess really knows how to represent her country with style!

The wedge shoes are very trendy, but I don't like the way these look. Usually the wedge heels are in a more informal shoe style, so it looks strange to me (and not very attractive) to see them with a close toe shoe and a formal jacket.

I'm afraid they are the shoe of the moment in London, always closed toe for formal daytime shoes.

Horse sanctuary on royal agenda


A visit to a sanctuary for mistreated horses was on the agenda for Prince Charles and his wife as they continued their tour of Egypt.

Today Camilla wore a green suit. It is the same one that she wore to Prince Williams graduation and to church in California. She is also wearing the same type of shoes she wore on the first day but in beige. I dont know much about shoes. Are they coming in style or something. So far they have been feeding animals on a farm.

No, that`s only the jacket from Williams graduation. The rest is completly new. But she wore this jacket not very often, so it`s a nice look.

1. I love Camilla's shoes, in the pics posted below.
2. At first I thought Charles is actually riding one of those horses. I mean it looked like that at first glance.
3. Camilla's yesterday's dress was WONDERFUL!!!!!!! I love it!

I thought that maybe Camilla wears that particular kind of shoes in Egypt, because apart from being trendy, they are also more comfortable. Egypt is not exactly famous for its smooth roads.

Okay, I'll give her a break on the shoes (which I don't particulary like ). But when it comes to the rest, Camilla looked wonderful, she's one stylish lady!

Oh, I don't like the shoes but, they are fashionable! She does look marvelous!

I guess I don't like everything that's fashionable. (It's been fashionable to put your pants in your boots too for a long time, so I tried it once and thought it was rather uncomfortable. I dind't give in to fashion that time and I'm not going to now ). But you're right, she really does look marvelous. I'm quite curious what their visit will bring us the next few days. It certainly is lovely to see so much of them!

Close Princejohnny25, it is the same jacket she wore to the garden party at Buckingham Palace, but the dress underneath is different. The jacket at Prince William's graduation had full length sleeves.

I'm looking forward to their visit to saudi arabia as I used to live there and am anxious to see where they will be going.Maybe Camilla will do a spot of shopping at the Saks Fifth Ave in Riyadh.

I love the wedge shoe (can't wait for Spring/Summer to the hit the US East Coast) and they look great on the Duchess. Yes, I am thinking that by wearing them she is being more practical then trendy.

 

[Incas]

I am just a little surprise by how short the Duchess' skirts/dresses are. With the exception of the outfit she wore to the mosque, the other day dresses/suits could pass for visiting any Western cities. I wonder if the skirts will be longer when she goes to Saudi Arabia.

 

[Saragli]

Its not legs that matter so much as arms and neck in the middle east. Though they shouldnt be short skirts or shorts its ok to show your legs if your a western women. I am also intrested in how she will dress in Saudi Arabia.

Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Charles, Prince of Wales visit a temple on the fourth day of their 12 day official tour visiting Egypt, Saudi Arabia and India, on March 23, 2006 in Siwa, Egypt. The visits provide an opportunity to support the UK's international contribution and profile, with key themes to promote better understanding and tolerance between faiths, supporting environmental and conservation initiatives, and encouraging sustainable employment and training opportunities for young people.

Not the best look of Camilla IMO. Though I do like the umbrella. Very victorian. Not a fan of her hat either.

Thank You for the pictures fanletizia, the last picture in post 80 shows how much Charles and Camilla love each other, I think.
The parasol is beautiful but, I can understand why she swapped to such a sensible hat.

 

[Saragli]

What a cool day for the Prince and Duchess. Nice to see them arm and arm. They never hold hands so its nice to see that affection. I like how camilla sat down with the other ladies. Show how down to earth she is and doesnt care if she gets her clothes dirty.

 

[GrandDuchess]

Absolutely lovely! The Prince and Duchess look like an elegant couple strolling out of a film from past times, looking very relaxed with each other and the things around them.

 

[Saragli]

Its does remind me of the early 1900's when upper class Brits use to come to Egypt to holiday.

 

[MOLEY]

sounds a great place to stay

What happened last night? No official functions? No photo ops?

Boy, they look hot today. Right out of an Agatha Christie movie.

I think the top and skirt matched perfectly, spot on you could say. The hat style is designed to allow air to flow around your head and shade you from the worst of the sun.
Sometimes you have to have the sense to forget fashion and go for stylish comfort. I should think they were both suffering in the heat!
