Do you mean she is looking a bit overweight. I think that Camilla's childbearing years are long gone. What do you think?

 

[Maxie]

Love the hat, it's so Camilla!
Your comment made me laugh terribly, hornsen! Thanks for that.

i think she has a very nice figure and many people have commented she has great legs. That coat style isn't the most flattering. she is a middle aged woman with grown children, but who knows with modern medicine, didn't a 63? year old woman have a baby not long ago. just kidding!!!!!!!!!!! can't believe at least 1 tabloid hasn't played up a story along those lines tho.

 

[hornsen]

Yes, Heidi P. It was only a joke...It´s the cut of her coat and her little weight problems.

 

[Roslyn]

It's the cut of her coat. It's perhaps not the most flattering line I've seen her wear, but then she is going to Church! I like the colour on her and I think she looks lovely.

Edited to add, thanks for posting the pics.

I agree with you. It is wonder why the tabloids have tried to claim Camilla is pregnant. LOL

I don't like the cut of her coat. It makes her look heavy. She doesn't, to me at least, seem to want people to see her figure. She probably does yo-yo on her diet somewhat but articles I have read this past year say the same thing from people. Camilla is smaller, more delicate and petite then they realized. The camera adds ten pounds but Camilla's choice of clothing seems to me to add even more weight.
Although as a rule I think Camilla always look very nice when she goes out.

Camilla obviously went to Lloyds to be reunited with her money.

That was my thought too She apparently took Charles with her for support

[hornsen]

This outfit she wore in India first. I love it. But she forgot her jewellry... They have nice elephants there.

i adore the coat, just gorgeous. Camilla looks very pretty, i like her in blues and purples. special touch, charles pocket hankerchief matches perfectly.

 

[Roslyn]

I love the outfit. These are great pics. I'd love to know what Charles was saying so earnestly in photo No. 5. Was it before or after he touched the end of the elephant's trunk?

C&C appear to really enjoy the events they attend together. They chat to each other a lot.

 

[love_cc]

Charles and Camilla will have many joint enegaments these days.Camilla does seem to be much happier and it is good for her and Charles. Camilla's birthday is nearer and I am delighted to see her smiles back. She is such a brave lady.

 

[princess gertrude]

Camilla looks fantastic. That color is an extremely good color for the Duchess.

 

[puresnow]

thanks for the information.

 

[Avalon]

This outfit she wore in India first. I love it. But she forgot her jewellry... They have nice elephants there.

Yes, it's the same, she wore in India but it looks much better with skirt, imo.
She looks great and Charles looks so happy.

HRH seems alot more relaxed on engagements now. She doesn't play with her hair too much and she isn't so stiff and awkward. She's just taken to it like a duck to water. Good for her.

 

[Chiyo]

Mmmm, giant pasties and ale. Now I'm all hungry!
