The landlady said - "I've never sat on a public toilet, but after she left I went in there and said 'My derriere has been touched by royalty', so in reality people are buying a toilet seat used by a landlady, yeuk.

I can't really believe that anyone would actually buy a toilet seat just because the Duchess of Cornwall sat on it but.... at least the money raised will be going to charity so it is for a good cause.

I wonder what will be next though....

I read that Prince Charles favorite Christmas present was a wooden toilet seat. Maybe he will buy the toilet seat for the Duchess as a Christmas present!!!!!!

KATIE NICHOLL: Camilla plans a makeover with Tesco's beauty guru | Mail Online

We mustn't forget the article is written by Katie Nicholl! 'Palace sources', 'palace insider', followed by CH declined to comment!

Especially as Camilla already has a perfectly good professional make-up advisor who specialises in a 'natural look' + also highly regarded dress-designers in Valentine/Robinson (for day wear) & Vivienne Westwood (for evening wear). So why should she go to anyone else or take advice from somebody like Kate Middleton who is almost 40 years younger!

 

[Incas]

And not to knock on Miss Middleton, since when has Kate been declared "a real expert on beauty"? Did Katie Nicholl just came up with the new title?

Is that a coat or a dress? I think she looks very good and the cut is impeccable.

 

[chaimae]

i have to agree with you Menaru ; the Duchess looks good in this coat (or dress) .
but what i didn't like much the color of the hat ; i think those too colors (dress and hat ) not much nice with each other !

 

[Nico]

Yeah the DOC is back ans she's in great shape! I note a new hat for her endless collection (love the fabric and the color).
The coat is ok but i'm not a big fan of the "Texas girl' details... The overall effect is lovely though.

This outfit got its first public outing in Japan. Looks very nice, though I am no fond of the tassles / detailing around the shoulders.

THE painting I think captures one thing P.Charles said 'she smiles with her eyes'. Its a good painting in that sense and definitely doesn't try to make her look younger.The DM Mona Lisa reference seemed like a blantant attempt to lead readers to make negative comments. I hope they don't fall for the hype.

 

[BeatrixFan]

I LOVE the portrait. It captures the spirit of HRH perfectly. Just wish we had a full version of it.

 

[Nico]

I waited for a portrait of the DOC for a loooong time. I must say i'm not disapointed: it's beautiful.
