I think that's a compliment. And actually..thats not the first time I heard that the Duchess had great legs.

Who made these specific rules and when? I don't believe she's the head of state either.Panther2000 said:They may not but you don't show up at a place as a head of state dressed in a bright color.
But, a Dark color is what you wear. Blue, Dark Grey, Brown. You don't wear PINK or RED.
Warren said:As one who keeps a running tab on such details, I have conducted a quick survey of this page and the previous 10 pages of this thread.
NB.. only avatars of British Royals have been counted, and only those used by individual Members (and not the number of posts).
The results are:
Camilla: 4
Diana: 3
Lovers Knot Tiara: 1
Queen Victoria: 1
Prince Harry: 1
I have added the tiara (as it belonged to the late Princess) to the Diana avatars, and placed VRI and Harry in the neutral corner (but opposite to each other as Harry may be a tad too rowdy for the old Queen).
This calculation gives 4 and 4. Equal!
A perfect balance, an equilibrium, a ying and a yang!
If anyone wishes for a more formal survey of avatar usage throughout the entire British Forums, I am open to offers of a Research Grant.

New yorkers don't alwasy wear black. I my don't always wear black. But, a Dark color is what you wear. Blue, Dark Grey, Brown. You don't wear PINK or RED. Like I stated. She should have reversed her colors between the day & night events. The Dark Blue during the day & the Bright Color at night.

Elspeth said:Usually the royals wear bright colours during the day so as to be easily visible - the exception would be something like the Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph. In this case, Camilla was doing a bunch of stuff other than going to the memorial site, and she probably dressed in usual royal fashion, in an eye-catching colour.
Since royals aren't usually mingling with crowds in the evening, darker colours are less of a problem as far as being noticed is concerned, so you often see darker evening wear than day wear on the royal ladies.
ysbel said:That makes sense Elspeth.
Congratulations, Emma you got into print! How did you meet the reporter to talk to them?

Hilarious! The First Lady commits the ultimate party foul. I'm fairly certain official protocol prohibits grabbing the posterior of the future monarch. Silly Americans!Binky said:http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=208846&d=1131037078
Is Laura touching his tushie?!? LOL
All according to your opinion, no actual laws of/or protocol were broken. Why don't you criticize the others as well?Panther2000 said:Respect it is called,
But, that is not the place to wear such a color when showing respect as a official Visit.
Quite true, but in all fairness, I think it's safe to say she wasn't actually touching him (at least not in that picture), but probably making the sort of gesture that one often does when showing some sort of polite "following after" if that makes any sense. Let's certainly hope she wouldn't actually touch him there... quelle international incident.BeatrixFan said:It's very bad form to touch a member of the Royal Family. A mortal sin in some circles.
Skydragon said:I didn't agree with the demonstrations against your president when he was in this country, I don't remember what they were about, it's a matter of good manners. I certainly don't agree with someone stalking a woman who married for love.
I like Camilla's style, chic rather than the moments fashion. A lot of her outfits don't photograph well but, she has never dressed for the press.
It has been nice seeing all the photo's on here though.
BeatrixFan said:Those earrings and snake necklace seem to be Camilla's signature set. I like them and I love the earrings on her. They really flatter her but I'd like to see a different necklace with them. I like the snake one but I think a necklace in a similar style to the earrings would look better.
I think Camilla's really got a signature style now. We know what to expect almost and thats re-assuring.
