Well, we can't all be Helen Mirren when we're approaching 70!

Thank you for this; I also believe the duchess is an inspiration for all of us of a certain age

I don't care for the shoes, but I really like the dress.

No,. but as I am now 75, my sister turned 70 and most of my friends are in that range, she looks older. Her smoking has given her wrinkles that none of us have. And, at times I think she looks stunning, and at times she looks dumpy. Perhaps, she is more comfortable in certain fashions, I am all for that. But the shoes don't go.

I love Camilla's plain-bordered blue dress. The colour compliments her well and the style suits Camilla well. It is fresh and summery and suits the occasion. The colour of her accessories used to be called 'Bone' and was very popular as an accessory colour, rather like 'Nude' has become these days. Bone has the edge over cream, which was too positive a colour.

I agree, her dress is shapeless which doesn't help.

Understated and sober look...

I think the print on the dress is pretty and charming. After all, what does one wer to see people get their tootsies worked on?

I don't love it - the material is a bit "nightgowny" for me.

Now that you mention it, the clasp does look different from her usual small diamond choker. But it might just be the bad photos. I guess we’ll have to wait for her to wear it on an official engagement to see better.

 I noticed that too. I think it is new as it's 4 strings of luminous white small pearls don't seem to match any of her other chokers with small clasps. It is not the small amethyst clasp as that has 3 strings of larger pearls. Same with the new sapphire and diamond clasp, 3 strings and larger pearls and lastly, her garnet/ruby clasp 3 string oyster coloured pearls.
