perhaps to shout out the symbolism contained in those leaves. English oak, english continuity, english commonwealth. The Prince of Wales is admiring his lady's taste; the rest of you are jealous!

[COUNTESS]

Hat is awful, clothes are rumpled. She looks like an oak tree that woke up suddenly.

[Skippyboo]

I want to paint her hat kinda of like those paint your own pottery places

[Queen Camilla]

The hat looks like it was made with molding clay.

Maybe it was a craft project her grandkids made for her.

The coat needs to be redesigned with the panels removed.

Agree about the hat. Looks like something you put on a wedding cake!
Did the grandkids make it out of Play dough?

[Lenora]

The white coat makes her fatter than she is.

Camila looks great. I love the lace on top. One thing I will say; the outfit would look even better in a darker color.

[MARG]

Camilla does indeed look great. It's nice that her hair is now not quite as bouncy/fluffy as it used to be giving us and almost unobstructed view of her earrings . . . but please, enough with this choker.

Her cream ensemble is very flattering and very elegant. No sure whether it is lace or a scarf around her neck and down the front of the dress, but never mind, it still looked great.

I thought the photo of the young girl getting a kiss on the nose from one of the dogs was absolutely adorable.

[COUNTESS]

She looks lovely. The cream color looks very well on her. She seldom looks this well. A very nice look.

Pre-Dinner Reception Held at St James' Palace - Pictures - Zimbio

Camilla in colour at a reception at SJP for Commonwealth High Commissioners. Not sure I like the red wrap.

[Queen Camilla]

I think Camilla should dress like Princess Alexandra of Kent.

Her evening gowns:
The lace should come down to touch the hip and not just on the bosoms or halfway up the bosoms.

Here is Alexandra in a lovely purple number. Although I am not a fan of the lace on this dress, the construction of the dress is perfect including the collar.

VS Camilla's
The lace on this dress is nice but it should have continued past the waist and the skirt of the dress should have flowed like the above example of PA.

An improvement over the Parliament dress but the lace need to be longer and the collar need to cover more of her shoulders and the sleeves should also be longer.

Love this. Nice to see Camila in a color, I Love the wrap. That's the best part.
That deep ruby color.

I'm afraid I have to disagree. I thought both the Oldfield gown's that Camilla wore looked lovely on her. On the other hand, IMO, Alexandra's gown was quite frumpy.

[Lenora]

And Alexandra is slimmer than Camilla, maybe colour choice will suit her.

[Jacknch]

Yes, Camilla is a not a tall woman and I think the dresses with just half the bodice covered horizontally in lace elongates the design to make her look taller.

Sir David Frost's memorial service takes place at Westminster Abbey | Mail Online

The Duchess looked very elegant in black when she returned to the Abbey (having last been there on Monday for the Commonwealth Service) for the memorial for Sir David Frost.

[Al_bina]

Duchess of Cornwall's suit is nice and appears to be well-tailored. I wonder how many variations of the same headpiece/hat she has got in her wardrobe.

It is better not to compare a member of the glamorous Kent clan with the current wife of Prince Charles.

[Duchessmary]

Thumbs down. The dress is horrible, along with the embellishments. And what's with the same choker over and over again?
