Queen Elizabeth usually attends the Maundy Thursday church service every year. This year, the Queen asked her son Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall to represent her at the traditional Royal Maundy Service. On behalf of the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall attended 2022 Royal Maundy Service that took place at St George's Chapel in Windsor, on April 14, 2022.
Maundy is a holy Christian day which is celebrated every year on Thursday before the Easter. Every Maundy Thursday, the Queen distributes special Maundy money to local pensioners during a church service which commemorates Jesus washing the feet of the Apostles at the Last Supper.
A very elegant couple.
ReplyDeleteCamila looks lovely in navy and white, her hat is very not too big.
The Duchess's ensemble is coordinated well. The colors are great. I love her hat and shoes. However, the wide vertical stripes of the coat are too graphic, in my opinion. If only the collar and visible lining of the coat were white and the outer fabric was solid blue, I think the look would have been better. I wish she had removed the underlying necklace as it detracts from the clasp of the beautiful pearl necklace.
ReplyDeleteI agree basically. Indeed the stripes of the coat are too graphic, too big ... And also agree on no underlying necklace, even if trendy, but not fitting here with the pearls.
DeleteI agree with all your observations Debra.
DeleteI agree. Thought the same about the white vertical stripes. The collar and lining would have been just enough white. Love the hat.
DeleteElégants tous les deux ; agréablement surprise par le look ravissant de Camilla en bleu et blanc même si je trouve que les larges rayures verticales du manteau captent trop le regard ; elle a une tête à chapeaux et là, le style de celui-ci lui va vraiment à merveille !
ReplyDeleteThis is a no for me, although I do like the cut of the coat, the stripes are too busy, a solid color with a dress underneath with stripes, polka dots or even floral could’ve work. The hat is a good piece if you do like big hats. The worst part is the shoes, they don’t go at all with the outfit and frankly make everything worse,

Yes, but I think the shoes we see have been urgently brought in (SOS panic) to give the boots a break and time for the cobbler to get them into shape for autumn later this year.
DeleteAs for the blue and white ensemble, can't make up my mind.
It doesn't bowl me over.
A bit too loud for the occasion?
I seem to remember that we have already seen these shoes last Summer. They are perfectly in her"style", which in my view is very important for her. She is not a shoe fan or addict. I admit it could be better, but they are far away from being a disaster.

DeleteYou wrote "She is not a shoe fan or addict".
I agree.
We're probably going to see a lot of these shoes over the spring, summer period. I hope the cobbler takes his time in putting her boots back into shape.

ReplyDeleteSarebbe stata perfetta con una scarpa blu.
ReplyDeleteA simple WOW
ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful! Should have had blue shoe matching her outfit though
ReplyDeleteWell, it's something different the DoC's wearing today, but I'm not thrilled about it: the white inserts are too much and now the boots are finally gone the DoC wears blue/cream coloured shoes which imo don't go well with the white of the coat. I'm also not sure whether the hat combines well with the coat.

This outfit is a no from my perspective. The stripes on the coat are far too wide, and distracting. A plain navy would have been better. The hat is ok, not one of her better looks, and neither are the two necklaces. The shoes, sorry, but they are awful. Black and tan with a navy outfit just throws everything out the window fashion wise. josie
ReplyDeleteI love it that she is so much more daring in her choice, and that makes me mild.
ReplyDeleteSo I only regret that she doesnot wear simple blue shoes.

I agree with all those who said the stripes on the coat are too much. And I think the two tone shoes take the two tone look a bit too far. That said, the color looks very well on Camilla and I think she looks good overall.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteThe blue and white are good colors for spring. The subtle curves in the coat's white stripes give the illusion of a good figure. This is a very suitable outfit that is very attractive on the Dutchess.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit and look is a miss for me. I can't put my finger on what is wrong with it; all I can say is that it doesn't give the Duchess the elegance I usually associate with her. Perhaps the side white panels are too broad as well as the lapel being too wide and too oversized. The hat which is actually very nice becomes too much with what's going on below it. To me look lacks refinement but otherwise it is a serviceable outfit, just not to my preference.

Very lovely outfit for the DOC. I do agree navy shoes would look better.
ReplyDeleteCamilla looks marvelous! I love the navy and white ensemble--and her hat is gorgeous. Charles looks pretty dapper too--and how sweet his tie is also blue.
ReplyDeleteI love the hat, dress, pearls....but the shoe color is a no.
ReplyDeleteMany good comments on the Duchess' wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteMostly, I agree. The shoes stand out, as they do not match the coat ensemble. On the plus side, at least she's not wearing boots or those floral house dresses, and she is wearing nude stockings, so overall this is a win for me. But surely a shoe designer or cobbler could make the same style shoe in navy and white or just plain navy.
This is a beautiful outfit. I don't necessarily like the stark wide white stripes, but the Duchess looks great. The shoes, are the tip black or navy? Coming up on my monitor as black, strange choice. Love the pearl choker and earrings. The small blue bag is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA mon goût, en gardant le même style de chaussures, je les verrais bien soit de couleur bleu-marine avec le bout de couleur blanche, ce qui donnerait un look mieux coordonné !
ReplyDeleteVery strange dress. I really miss the Queen with her unerring fashion in bright, happy colours.
