On November 15, 2020, at the request of The British Government, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall attended The Central Remembrance Ceremony in Berlin on the occasion of National Day of Mourning. Their visit to Germany was at the invitation of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, who is patron of the War Graves Commission.
In addition, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall attended the wreath-laying ceremony at the Neue Wache Memorial. Afterwards, they attended the Central Remembrance Ceremony at the German parliament, where The Prince of Wales gave a speech.
This year, the National Day of Mourning focused on the German-British friendship, which has grown in the 75years since the end of World War II. The event was held in honour of the Allied commitment to the liberation from Nazi occupation and to the reconstruction, re-democratisation and subsequent reunification of Germany.
The attendance of the British Royals this year was the first time that a member of the Royal Family attended The Central Remembrance Ceremony in Germany.
Choix judicieux de Camilla qui a emmené dans ses bagages ce joli masque aux multiples coquelicots ; cela éclaire sa tenue noire !
ReplyDeleteThe Duchess looks as smart as she usually does at these events and I like the detailing on the coat. It must be great for Prince Charles to see a focus on German British friendship as he has so many German cousins on his father's side of the family.
ReplyDeleteDo not like the odd neckline, then the square white lines going down the dress or coat. A black mask would have looked more appropriate for the occasion, not a summery one.
ReplyDeleteDon't like the neckline neither.
DeleteIt isn't a summery mask and nothing could be more appropriate than poppies which are a symbol of remembrance of the fallen in war.
DeleteIt us not a summery mask, it features the red poppy - a symbol of Remembrance Day in the UK to honour the fallen in both world wars
DeleteI'm just happy to see the royals wearing masks. I think Camilla looked lovely today.
DeleteThe last three photos showed she CHANGED from the poppy mask to the summery one. Please look at all the photos before making remarks. Thanks.
DeleteA grey and white mask is hardly restricted to summer wear.
DeleteGood hygiene changing masks.
DeletePerhaps you could be more specific in your comment. Thanks.
these days, a mask can be a fashion statement, so sad.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it sad? nobody wears a mask by choice and if we can wear a pretty one, all the better
DeleteThe shape of the neckline certainly shows off the beautiful choker and earrings. I’m also admiring the seam detail at the back. I think this is a simple but elegant outfit on D. Camilla. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteIt’s not summery! It’s symbolic!
ReplyDeletecheck last 3 photos, its summery, she changed masks.
DeleteAgree with Esther. It is not summery, none of the masks.
DeleteWhat a fuss about masks!
DeleteThey have to be changed for hygiene according to each country guidelines and irrispective of their patterns.
We do the same in Italy.
People criticized her for wearing a poppy mask saying Germans don't like to wear things that memorialze war. It's possible she changed masks because of that.
ReplyDeletePoppies commemorate the people who died not war itself. Perhaps people should educate themselves before they criticise something.
