Camilla in the cake factory
February 5

It was never going to be her finest sartorial hour.

But the Duchess of Cornwall did her best with the obligatory hygiene uniform when she visited a bakery yesterday.

How strange, or perhaps not, that they didn't pick the best photos to use in their 'newspaper'.

WHAT is it with the Mail ? When I looked at the article last night at 10pm US CST there was a nice bland article about Camilla and the bakery with no Bad Hair pictures. This morning Bad Hair pictures. It is as if they change the article and pictures to trigger negative comments. I saw the same switch when she launched the ship.

The link i posted this morning was an article with nice pics! They changed it afterwards to show the ´stormy pics´... But i think Camilla is a lady who also looks good on a stormy day!

I did wonder if that was what had happened. That or the remote possibility that you were feeling 'unwell'. Only joking!

Those pictures are funny. Looks likes she was craking up laughing. The shoes are hilarious.

Goodness. The Duchess seems to be overdressed for the occasion, if the attire of her children is a guide as to the general dress code for the place. Maybe we are unduly critical of Beatrice.

Thanks for the pics, iceflower.

Camilla looks great though. I think she has a warmer hair colour at the moment, thought that could just be the light.

I tend to think that Camilla's children had mistaken-thoroughly-the dresscode!

Tom Parker-Bowles is a food writer/TV-presenter and such an ultra VIP for any top restaurant. He could probably come there in a swimsuit! Laura is the step-daughter of the Prince of Wales, she needs not dress up - and I think she looks quite nice. While Camilla is every inch HRH - as she should be when about town. But I really have to check up Scott's and their menu/chef. Must be quite good if Camilla goes there so often.

There is a fan museum.. she did a good job of acting interested..

Why 'acting interested', the variety of fans is enormous and of genuine interest to very many people, including Camilla I would imagine.

YUM i love this suit, fabulous with her jewelry, she looks beautiful. i think it looks like good event, the history and language of the fan over the centuries is interesting imo. great photos Thanks!
