The shade of blue is lovely.

The Duchess of Cornwall wore a lovely cream dress for today's Garden Party.
She wore the same hat at during her own wedding (civil ceremony) back in 2005.
The dress is also recycled; Camilla has worn it on many occasions, sometimes combined with a coat.

Beautiful outfit on Camilla and I love the lace on her hat as well. And that must be Sophie and Edward; I like the looks of her outfit from the back, too.
Thank you for the photos, Artemisia. Would you know who Kate is walking with?

You are welcome. 
I don't think the man next to Sophie is Prince Edward; looks more like the Duke of Kent to me.
The lady next to Kate is probably the Duchess of Gloucester, but we'll need more pictures to confirm that.

The white dress was an awful choice for Duchess of Cornwall. The style and milky white colour of the dress emphasised all unflattering points of her figure. The hat, on the other hand, is lovely.

Actually, that was Princess Anne walking beside Kate and there's the Duke of Gloucester, I believe.

Camilla's dress doesn't do a thing for her. The hat is pretty, though.

Thanks! I should have guessed: the duchess of Gloucester wouldn't go anywhere near that outfit.

I like Camila's hat that she chose for the garden party. The dress is all right, but nothing special.

The Duchess of Cornwall at the wedding of her godson Henry Allsopp on May 26, 2012, looking lovely
in the butterfly dress she has worn before:

The Duchess looks lovely.
I like the hat and the dress, although it looked better with the white jacket.

I think Camilla looked lovely at both her recent appearances, the garden party at BP and her godson's wedding. You can always comment on how either of the two looks could have been improved, but I think her greatest accoutrement was her personality - In both sets of pictures, she comes across as somebody comfortable in her skin, and what she is doing.

Couldn't agree more. In most pictures I've seen of her, Camilla appears to have a great personality and sense of humour, someone you'd feel comfortable around.
Then again, this is a fashion forum, so liking or not liking an outfit doesn't mean we are criticising or praising the royal in question - just the outfit of the day.

That's a lovely chiffon print dress; it looks really good on Camilla and I think the hat is very flattering on her. And it does look very nice with the white jacket as well; either with or without the jacket it's a smart look.

And they say our posts don't influence anything! 
Thanks for the pictures, iceflower; I really do like this dress with a white jacket. The Duchess looks lovely.

I love the white dress with or without the jacket. The Duchess looks absolutely lovely. The hat is very nice and compliments the entire look. The second outfit for today is lovely as well. It suits Camila.

^^ Exactly! I was begining to think I was in a parallel universe. Better corsetry would be an improvement.
