On September 17, 2022, King Charles III hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for governors-general of the Commonwealth nations. Queen Consort, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, Princess Anne and Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence attended the Buckingham Palace reception. In addition to the UK, the King is head of state for 14 Commonwealth realms.
King Charles looks very tired !!
ReplyDeleteWhich is to be expected with such a gruelling schedule as the family have had for the last week.
DeleteThe BRF shows the poise and dignity of a black swan in this busy week. The Queen's exquisitely attractive pearl necklace is perfect for the Princess of Wales.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with Anonymous 23:22. And I like the picture of Catherine and Camilla talking to each other.
DeleteThe Princess of Wales, looks appropriately dressed, she looks very elegant. Love the pearl necklace stunning. The triple strand pearl bracelet and earring are the perfect finishing touch.
ReplyDeleteDuring this difficult time Kate continues with her duties with poise & elegance. Being g a fashion blog even during this period of mourning Kate never fails with her clothing choices she looks lovely. Mary
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. Even in a simple black dress she manages to look outstanding. The beautiful pearls make all the difference here. What a perfect choice of jewelry
DeleteAbsolutely agree. I didn't like the coat she wore to the military event, it looked a bit too strict and "gouverness-y" for a woman her age and in her role. But apart from that she is and has handled the last week impressively.
DeleteIt also seems as if she were on very good terms with Camilla, must be a help to both of them.
Wow this is such a stressful time for them with all the ceremonial obligations associated with the Queens death and on top of all that they hosting all these receptions to acknowledge and thank the presence of those from the realms and dominions who have flown from far distances to pay their respects. I lift my hat to them.
ReplyDeleteSaturday evening it was a reception for the Commonwealth Governers General and on Sunday it will be a reception for the Heads of State and Royalty from around the world who are attending. When do they get any rest? Monday is going to be a huge day for them too, physically and emotionally. I feel for them.

C'est la première image qui montre particulièrement la fatigue du roi Charles ; on le serait à moins car ces dames peuvent arriver à la cacher même partiellement avec du maquillage !
ReplyDeletePrincess of Wales and Queen Consort seems to be very close.
ReplyDeleteXx
Catherine looks lovely in her simple black dress, also like her jewellery. Photo of Camilla and Catherine talking to each other was sweet to see, they seem to have good relationship.

Duty first. Every one of them is stepping up.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that Queen Camilla is the the rock that will support King Charles. I’m glad he has her.
The final picture of the Princess is glorious. She looks more rested than in the day before. Her hair is perfectly done . The 3-stranded pearl necklace against the black dress is the perfect accessory, paired with the pearl earrings. I don't recall her making any missteps during this mournful period. I also like the Queen Consort's shorter hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, does she ever set a foot wrong? She is really marvellous at her job.
DeleteAgree with you both. The Princess of Wales is a real trouper (still have her in my mind as Duchess!) Camilla, Catherine and William, Sophie and Edward plus the Princess Royal and Tim Lawrence. The King has a tough job to do but what a terrific back up team.
