Thank you Iceflower for these updates! As much as we seem to like to complain about how much/little the BRF works, it's disappointing that no one has anything to say on this this thread as the DOC appears the last two days.
I'm happy anytime anyone is out looking at and promoting the Arts.

Where was Camilla today?

She attended a candlelit vigil in Westminster Abbey this evening and extinguished the last candle near the tomb of the unknown soldier. The whole service was very moving. Across the UK major public buildings extinguished their lights between 10.00pm &11pm to mark the hour when the war commenced.

At first I was surprised to see Camilla at such a high-profile national event on her own, but she looked very comfortable. Her outfit sparkled a bit in the candlelight too.

Thank you.

Yes, it is clear that Camilla is now very comfortable in her royal role, and is able to carry out high profile engagements like this with grace.

The Tomb of the Unknown Warrior/Soldier (I've heard it referred to by both terms) just looks stunning w/the respective floral emblems of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland bordering it.

The commemorations may have also had a very personal meaning to the Duchess of Cornwall, as her family lost 3 brothers during the Great War, her great-uncles. Her own father himself was a distinghuised military, decorated for bravery and gallantry in the following World War.

EPHRAIM HARDCASTLE: Was Duchess of Cornwall a tactful choice to stand in for the Queen at Westminster Abbey's Great War commemoration? | Mail Online

As the next Queen Consort she was a very appropriate choice to represent the Queen and if people have a problem with her then they need to get over it. So one person thought she was the wrong choice and wrote to the Times about it. One person out of a population of how many million in the UK?

Everyone is unpopular with some section of the population and there will always be someone who will complain.

 

[MARG]

That's the shortest and lamest article I have seen in the Mail, ever. Heads will roll over being reduced to quoting one reader's letter in The Times, not to mention the dearth of photos to support her.

I am guessing all the feeble, anti-Camilla, DM reporters were following Catherine and 99.999% of the thousands of photo's taken by the media herd were binned as surplus to requirements.

Very much this. What a stupid article.

Judging from the lack of follow up shock/horror headlines over Camilla's role in the WWI Centenary, I think we can safely say that a very large amount of anti-Camilla press is the result of the fertile minds of "Royal Correspondents".

Forgetting they are supposed to report the news instead of create it has never been better illustrated than the dismal DM attempt at stirring.

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

I was very impressed by the Duchess of Cornwall during the Vigil in Westminster. In fact I am usually always impressed by how the Duchess fulfills her royal activities.

It's always good to see Her Royal Highness doing her duties and with a warm smile.

Here are some pics and additional information of that visit on October 7:

Very good to see Camilla out and about again. There have been too few engagements over the last few months.

Zimbio calls her Camilla Parker-Bowles? *sigh* It's not like she's a newlywed.

 

[Queen Camilla]

That is just the search heading, they never changed it. In the text she is listed as Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.

 

[miss whirley]

Well, technically that's wrong too. But it's better than Parker-Bowles. Baby Steps!
