I'm afraid your link would not work for me and I could not find the article in The Times regarding Charles and Camilla!

As it turns out, it is an article regarding the lovely Crown Princess Masako,

And they have arrived. Both look extremely jet-lagged and Camilla is in a blue shapeless thing, suitable for travelling though so we'll let her off.

And here they are:

I'm not sure to like this day outfit.
The color is nice but the pearls on the shoulders are a lilltle bit too'"Dolly Parton".


Sadly no tiara for the dinner but a very new beautiful and well cut dress for the DOC.

The color is flattering. Not too much cleavage. Nice and of course appropriate japanese touch. One of her best evening dress Imo.

Sorry Mr S, I am in love!

No, not with Charles, although he will always hold my deep affection, but with ASIMO!

It was only when Asimo danced — the staff called it his Samurai dance, although with Asimo’s Seventies moves, Travolta dance might have been more accurate — that the Prince finally laughed. Asimo stood on one leg, delighted to have got a response.

Crown Princess Masako looked relaxed and comfortable performing an official engagement alongside her husband. This might indicate that her treatment steadily progresses. Long hair suits her perfectly. I like that Crown Princess Masako opted for simple hairstyle. An icy pink suit of a classical design nicely ehnaced her complexion. She looked absolutely flawless.
