The Duchess of Cornwall Current Events 12: July 2008-December 2009

[Madame Royale]

These style of hats don't suit her at all, imo. Give me a broad brimmed hat with feathers anyday...

She wears larger hats so very well!

MR - I think I am with you on this one. The classic wide brimmed hats work very well for Camilla. I have never been fond of her experiments with these beret stle hats - I just dont like the hats and I don't think they work for her at all.

They do but this was a beret worn to honour of the Paras.

I had wondered if that was the case. Could you explain the exact, or near as translation?

Most regiments in the British Army have headdress which reflect their regiments traditions.

The Beret has been the international symbol for the airborne forces since their introduction in 1941 (I think it was '41). It started with Gen. Browning, 1st Parachute regiment. They are the only regiment allowed to wear their beret no matter where they are posted.
It is normally only by invitation or special leave that a non para wears a beret in their presence, because of the pride the regiment rightly has in itself.

I wonder what material a beret and coat collar are made of. It looks a lot like karakul (reference:Karakul (sheep - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia))

The lady with the muffler over her mouth looks like HRH's sister.

I´ve missed to see some pics from last Wednesday where Camilla invited ( like every year) serious ill children to Clarence House to decorate the Christmas tree.
Did anybody see some photos from the event?

I think Camilla got flu at that time, so Charles joined the event instead of Camilla.

Perhaps the horse knew it was a royal hand giving him a pat or may be he was just playing up to the cameras, either way the Duchess of Cornwall received a particularly toothy smile from one competitor at the London International Horse Show yesterday.

I agree! I am sure this pic will be published in many magazines!

Why is it terrible iceflower? Brilliant photo!

 

[Jo of Palatine]

Why is it terrible iceflower? Brilliant photo!

Yes it is. It's quite rare to see a horse showing so much admiration and joy on meeting a human being. I like it and I guess Camilla will have a hearty laugh.

 

[iceflower]

I agree! I am sure this pic will be published in many magazines!

I think so as well Here's the first use of it:

Skydragon, I said brilliant as well

I know you did! Just teasing you.

 

[georgiea]

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall looks great. I think the poor horse needs a dental cleaning or will lose its teeth. It has a great amount of tartar!

 

[ada]

Why is it terrible iceflower? Brilliant photo!

It is a brilliant photo, and the D of C's reaction was marvellous, but I fear a 'field day' for comedy sketches and cartoonists

Don't fear, I would imagine Camilla also found it funny and if they are only commenting on the picture, at least they will not be telling us a divorce is imminent!

 

[iceflower]

I know you did! Just teasing you.

I knew you did.

Worst comment I've heard about the special pic was: "Camilla...and ermm...Charles?"

Here are some pics from last week:

Great pics Iceflower. I was always so pro Di and anti Camilla, but the D of C is beginning to earn my respect

 

[Skydragon]

I knew you did.

Thank you for the pictures! The worst comment I saw was 'which is the horse', I suggested she got her eyes tested.

Yes. Probably twelve presents, one for each day of christmas. "On the first day of christmas my true love gave to me...". Oh, no, she probably bought (or so we will read in a certain publication) 1 + 2+ 3 + 4+ 5+ 6+..... till Epiphany.

Icefower, you had picked exactly that one. You have a sharp eye!

I hope I have not been misunderstood, as I meant a very good eye, but I am not sure sharp is the right word!
