Oh the Duchess is amazing. Camilla is showing a great sense of fashion. I am glad for her!
One must realise this is the era Her Majesty is from, and I think that people who make an effort to turn out and see her would be very dissappointed if she did not put on her hat, handbag and gloves, that is whta one expects from The Queen.
Camilla is looking very tired. How long does the flight take to Uganda?
I agree she's of her time but some of us are living in 2007 where the full hat and handbag combo looks a bit ridiculous when travelling. She's in danger of becoming a parody of herself.
I understand your point, but come on she's the queen. she's being doing things like this for a very long time, why change now? Besides, she knows that wherever she arrives there's going to be tons of photographers, she wants to show them her best face and Its what people expect to see and she knows that. most of us when we've been on a plane for so long just feel tired and dont really give a damn but then we dont have important ppl and cameras waiting for us. Plus Im sure she puts it on to get off the plane, hat, gloves, and coat probably, I highly doubt she flies the whole way looking like that.Now, the Duchess is dressed appropriately for travelling. Simple white dress, jacket and gloves. Why the Queen insists on donning the whole kit for every move she makes is beyond me.

I wonder if she spends most of the trip in casual clothes & slippers!
GillW, I think this is the picture you are taking about:

The Queen is the Queen. White gown - diamond wedding celebrations.
But Camilla ... Too much as for one time !!! - big diamond tiara and big five rows diamond necklace... What was she thinking?! Two or three rows will be enough.
Her gown wasn't the best choice specially the top of it. It looks like a sack or something.
