Quote from this article:
Wearing an aqua Armani skirt suit, pearls and beige heeled shoes, her wedding ring and son Tom Parker Bowles's new book were among the topics of conversation.

I had to read the sentence several times till I realized that she didn't wear her son's new book... LOL. While it's up to interpretation if she wore her wedding ring or talked about it or both.... :ROFLMAO:
 
She looks great. I think she lost weight. The article from The Royalist isn´t so bad like others before. But the comments are incredible.:bang:

I think you're right, she does look thinner.

Recently, one US tabloid was saying that Charles was disgusted with her because she had gained too much weight. I felt bad for her -- I think we all gain or lose if we're upset, and losing her father would be enough to cause some weight fluctuation.
 
Iowabelle, I don´t believe the stories of tabloids. Charles loves her with all her curves, I think. She never was fat but, sometimes she has a few more pounds. It´s normal. She is a woman and she is 59 years old. Very difficult to hold your weight than. If you deeply love someone over 30 years, you won´t mind about some curves and pounds IMO. I could imagine that he loves it...:rolleyes:
 
Oh, I agree, hornsen. They have been friends and a couple for so long, it's hard to imagine that they would break up after having gone through so much to be together.

Charles and Camilla seem to have connected well with people in Scotland.

10 mile walk... Hope the Duchess will make it! :rolleyes: Ro even better, hope she wins it, though it hardly matters with Charity Walk.
 
Wow, will we get pictures in sport dress?;)
 
Considering Camilla's love of long walks, this is perfect charity event for her. It is so nice she can do someone she really enjoys with her charity work.
If she wasn't the one who suggested the walk in the first place, I am sure she jumped at the idea when it was suggested. :)
I do agree it will be interesting in what she decides to wear.
 
She probably be wearing sport clothes suitable for power walks.


It's not that exciting.
 
I suspect she'll be wearing something sensible and comfortable.

For some odd reason I'll be interested to know the colour though.
 
Is the "mile" the same distance as a mile in the US? I though all of Europe used kilometers.

Yes we are the same as the US, we don't use kilometres to measure road distance.

We do use some metric for measurements ie. a piece of wood can be 1 metre long by 1 inch wide! :lol: 2 metres of fabric that is 36 inches wide. I think for anything other than road distance, it depends on your age, the youngsters using metric, the oldies imperial. :lol:

And the foreigners have a headache :lol: The only imperial measurement I personally understand is a pint of good ale ;)

A mile is 5,280 feet. That is about 1.6 kilometers. [SIZE=+1][/SIZE]

Can you imagine asking for 0.568 of a litre of beer or worse still 0.9144 of a metre of cider (1 yard)! :ROFLMAO:

I can. What I can't imagine is a facial expression of a waiter after such order ;)
 
I agree with some of you on her dress from last night, not her best IMO, but today the Duchess shows us once again that she has great taste in suits and hats.

Its a little less than half a marathon so at a walkings pace its definitely doable. :)
 
the duchess looks very lovely and dignified, great hat on her.
this has been bothering me for a while now, don't you think the duchess needs to find a firmer undergarmet (bra) she has a lovely figure but the top is too ummmmmm low. there are some wonderful, COMFORTABLE bras out there. my aunt (she's 73)went to neimans and got a new bra fitted (come to find out she'd been wearing the wrong size, etc) came to the reunion and everyone swore she'd had a boobjob. it was the hoot of the party who knew! anyway i mean no criticism it was just an idea to throw out there.
