On November 17, 2022, the Queen Consort hosted a reception for winners of The Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition 2022 at Buckingham Palace in London. The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition (QCEC) is the world’s oldest international writing competition for schools.
Extracts from their winning essays were read out by RCS (Royal Commonwealth Society) Ambassadors Geri Horner, Alexandra Burke and Ayesha Dharker, and the winner of Booker Prize, Ben Okri.
At the reception, 2022 competition winners and their families, three previous competition winners from 2020 and 2021 who were not able to attend an awards ceremony previously due to pandemic restrictions were present. During the award ceremony, the winners, who are aged between 13-17 years old and travelled from New Zealand, Australia, India and the UK, received their certificates from The Queen Consort.
All look lovely. Congratulations to all the winners.
ReplyDeleteTous les gagnants de ce concours ont dû être très heureux lors de cette cérémonie de remise de prix de rencontrer la reine consort Camilla surtout que cela se passait au palais de Buckingham ; j'aime beaucoup la voir avec le contact très tactile !
ReplyDeleteThe colours and fabric print of actress Ayesha Dharker's sari is gorgeous!

I agree, and Queen Camilla continues her good and lojal work just as the late Queen Elizabeth wanted! Congratulations to the winners!
ReplyDeleteCamilla looks good - she has her uniform and sticks to it. But what makes me really excited is the gorgeous pink saree and the cozy white jumper/skirt combo!
ReplyDelete-Nika-
The boots are out and about!!!
ReplyDeleteOk this might sound sarcastic, but I want to say, this lady has done incredible, at first I was on the Lady Di side, and time after time Camilla as shown to be an asset to the RF, with a nice, discreet and defined style, friendly and professional she does a great job, i wish her well and welcome the boots!

Why would you take sides? Can we let Princess Diana rest in peace?
DeleteLovely comment, Luna
DeleteI agree with all the nice things you say about the Queen Consort but I don't welcome her boots!
Always hard at work. Nice outfit for the Queen and the guests. css
ReplyDeleteAn indoor ceremony in a Palace and Camilla is wearing boots ?
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners. Nice to see a tradition like this being kept alive.
This outfit looks appropriate for the event. What did catch my eye was the beautiful colored saree, stunning in toned colors. Looks so beautiful.
