King Charles and the Queen Consort hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for British East and Southeast Asian (BESEA) communities on the occasion of the Lunar New Year celebrated in Southeast Asia. The Earl of Wessex, the Princess Royal, the Duke of Kent, the Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra were also present at the celebratory event.
The reception took place shortly after Lunar New Year which is celebrated by Chinese, South Korean, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Singaporean, Lao, Thai, Mongolian, Bruneian, Indonesian, Japanese, Cambodian, Filipino and East Timorese communities around the world.
More than 300 guests included representatives of the Armed Forces, the arts, media, fashion, business, government, finance, healthcare, faith organisations and charities.
Parmi toutes ces dames, il n'y a que la jeune femme de l'avant dernière photo qui est ravissanfe dans cette sorte d'hanbok, vêtement traditionnel coréen. Aussi appelé joseonot en Corée du Nord, il est le costume traditionnel de la péninsule de Corée. Son nom signifie littéralement « vêtement coréen ». Normalement, il est caractérisé par des couleurs vives et des lignes simples. Je n'arrive pas à bien voir la tenue noire de Camilla ; par contre, la duchesse de Gloucester élégante comme toujours , j'adore les trois rangs de son collier de perles !
ReplyDeleteCan’t quite work out what Camilla is wearing.
ReplyDeleteThe image on my PC screen is not too clear.
Could it be a long dress coat being worn over full length baggy pants?
Yep! That's the long and short of it.
DeletePrincess Ann has an amazing figure and beautiful legs. Really like the length of her skirt, it is quite flattering. The black gloves look a bit out of place though.
DeleteYep! Princess Anne is looking very "Princess Anne" for the occasion.
DeleteNon riesco a capire se Camilla indossa i pantaloni sotto l’abito lungo o è un doppio orlo? E anche adoro il nero non mi piace per questo evento.

Edward is standing just like his father always did
ReplyDeleteYes, I noticed that too !!
DeleteKing Charles hair is too long at the nape of his neck.
ReplyDeleteMJT
I agree.
DeletePity we could not see more of each communities’s outfits … The Korean lady’s dress is beautiful. Thanks for the clarification of the post explaining the lunar new year, glad to see other countries are included and not only the ‘chinese new year’ as we often see everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAnna
Hopefully no one got badgered about where they are *really* from.
ReplyDelete🤣 😁 😂
DeleteBeautiful outfits from all the ladies and gentlemen.
DeleteBuckingham palace events host people from around the world, many dressed in traditional attire. So 'where are u from' is a common genuine networking question. Those who take offence from it need to be in touch with their heritage.
If a person of ethnic heritage BORN IN THE UK says, "I'm from here (UK)," and the the bigoted idiot continues to ask the question over and over again, that's not a "genuine networking question." That's just someone being out of touch and racist. And believe me when I say those of us who take offense ARE more than in touch with our heritage!
DeleteLovely to see the Duchess of Gloucester and Princess Alexandra, who both look fabulous. I particularly love the pearl choker, beautifully worn by the Duchess. The Princess Royal looks lovely, her outfit in tones on brown suits her.
ReplyDeleteNo photos of Sophie? Love the outfit Ann is wearing.
ReplyDeleteNice to see some family members at this event.I do like Camillas coat but what is she wearing underneath? css
ReplyDelete@ css : Because of the unclear photos, one can only guess what’s going on with Camilla’s ensemble.
DeleteMy guess is that she is wearing baggy pants or her pyjama bottoms to hide those ubiquitous boots.
The design work on the coat/dress is nice and fits in well with the occasion.
What a lovely event. The BRF really know how to entertain. King Charles and Queen Camilla just seem so very charming and friendly.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Camilla wear blue trousers under a beautiful black caftan ?
ReplyDeleteMarcella
@Marcella : Thanks for the information that it’s a Caftan that Camilla is wearing.
DeleteBut what she is wearing underneath is not clear in the photo.
I’d say she’s wearing her pyjama bottoms.
I don't like the Beef which served, it was less of salt and more chilly
ReplyDeleteWHAT????
DeleteI have mixed feelings about Camilla’s outfit, I do like caftan style outfits specially on mature women, but I think it’s a little ridiculous that she would choose to wear more ethnic oriented clothes when she is visiting with these communities. Now, Princess Anne looks like she always do, appropriate and without concessions to fashion or trends, what bothers me is the gloves inside, could it be that she has some skin problems?otherwise is extremely weird and somewhat rude.
