What a cool photograph! I love that they hold state visits at Windsor now -- such a historical and wonderful castle.

I think the fashion winner this morning has to be the Duchess of Cornwall. She looks AMAZING in that purple outfit. Can't wait for the tiaras tonight.

Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (R) and Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh (L) show India's President Pratibha Patil (2nd L) and her husband Dr Devisingh Ramsingh Shekhawat (2nd R), Indian items from the Royal collection in Windsor Castle, southern England, on October 27, 2009. Indian President Pratibha Patil received a red-carpet welcome from Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday at the start of a three-day state visit to former colonial power Britain. Patil, the first Indian woman to be elected to the ceremonial role, was taken in a state carriage procession to the Queen's Windsor Castle, where she will stay during the trip and where she was treated to a Guard of Honour.

Absolutely agreed, Sam -- I've just blogged about it over at Mad Hattery, and I am so in love with this color on her! She should ditch the pastels and stick with the jewel tones.

Agree Camilla is looking great. What is also interesting is that this suit is not new - it was used last year, I think in Japan, but it is looking wonderful today.

Speaking from memory, no she did not wear the hat. I think the lighting in Japan was quite different and Camilla did not look as good as she does today.

British pomp and pageantry was on full display as the Queen welcomed the Indian president to Britain.
The two heads of state met for the first time in the historic town of Windsor as hundreds of well-wishers looked on.
Pratibha Patil - India's first female president - was greeted by the Monarch and Duke of Edinburgh on a royal dais in the centre of the Berkshire town as a thunderous royal salute was fired nearby by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery.

The Queen looks stunning today in her coat and matching hat! She seems to look younger as the years pass....

Very nice indeed! I hardly recognized Pr. Philip as you so rarely see him smile so big. Thank you for the pictures, Nico.
