On September 22, 2023, King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived at Bordeaux-Merignac airport in Bordeaux on the third day of their State Visit to France. The King and Queen Camilla visited the City Hall in Bordeaux. Then, The King and Queen attended a festival in celebration of British and French culture and business at Place de la Bours. Thereafter, the King and Queen attended a reception with the French/British military representatives onboard HMS Iron Duke in Bordeaux.
Enfin Charles aide Camilla...à descendre une grande marche
ReplyDeleteYes, he's been reading our comments.
DeleteYou know, our blog does some good work for the Royals in helping them with their behaviour 😁 We're not just a bunch of pretty faces.
à Lina: Ça me plaît beaucoup.

Yes, @ Deadeggs, I think all of the royals would be lost without our comments.😅😉
DeleteIt’s possible that King Charles will give a mention in his Christmas message this year of the work done by the bloggers in NewMyRoyals to help him and his family in the correct way of behaving in public. 😀

Delete😅😉👍👍👍👏👋
Love to see this couple enjoying their formal visits. Queen Camilla’s dress is very much her usual style and colour. Can someone who’s into jewellery please explain the vanishing brooch?

DeleteLa reine Camilla est tout à fait dans le style qu'elle adore et qu'elle a adopté pour Bordeaux ; vous avez l'oeil acéré en remarquant la disparition de la broche ; peut-être qu'elle s'est désagrafée toute seule ou a t-elle été remplacée par une de rechange ?!
Lovely color but....Is it a coat? Is it a dress? Is there a dress under the coat? Whatever it is it looks a little sloppy to me.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks lovely in this shade of blue.
ReplyDeleteSame dress, different color. I wish she’d venture out with her style. There are other styles she could look even better in.
ReplyDeleteI think, overall, Camilla has done well on the fashion front for this tour.
ReplyDeletePlus lots of smiles with a beam of enjoyment whilst doing the job.
The wardrobe team behind her have worked well.
Perhaps a meeting with a bit of brainstorming on what’s best to wear when getting on/off a plane and onto a windy tarmac.
But I’m sure she’ll be happy to get back home for a good pot of tea, the earthy smells of the English countryside, her boots and unbuttoned cardigan.
Once a country girl, always a country girl.
A plane to go from Paris to Bordeaux? I thought King Charles was concerned with global warming.

They were to travel by train, but someone leaked their itinerary, creating a security risk. So, it was either cancel the trip or go by plane.
DeleteI was a bit astonished as well. I heard something about taking the train, but it seems that was ditched for whatever reasons.
Delete@ Anne-Cécile. He came by plane from London instead of taking the Eurostar. Queen Elizabeth took the Eurostar to go to France. And then he took the plane again to go from Paris to Bordeaux. When he was in Paris a soldier had to stay near the plain with a rifle in his arms. I saw the pictures on Getty images. Yes telling others what to do is always so easy, but doing it themselves that's too difficult. I've heard that he takes a helicopter when he is in the U.K. to go from one castle to another. Rose
Deleteby train 499km (2 hours) but if they travel with regular lines, not really an issue since it would fly anyway. I hope they were not travelling by private jet. We should be more often informed about that for all royals.
DeleteThey flew maybe due to the security nightmare for the other passengers on the train with 2 royals on board. Charles's "people" considered what was best for all concerned.
DeleteOther than that, at least Charles helped Camilla down one step here after he was told there was considerable backlash after he left Camilla to deal with the harsh wind while descending the airplane steps on arrival in Paris. |Melanie|
So, they travelled by train (partly) when visiting Germany, but they had to change plans in France due to security details on the train rides being leaked. They flew in to Paris Orly by HM's Flight (Airbus A321), not commercial. I assume the very same plane was used for going to Bordeaux and then back to the UK.
DeleteVoyager par avion est pratique, sûr et rapide en ce qui les concerne. Pourquoi s’en priver.
ReplyDeleteOne would have thought Camilla has lived in the spotlight long enough to know, a flowing dress/coat dress is not appropriate to wear on or off a plane, with all the winds that are usual around an airport. Or at the very least, she should have had weights put in her hemlines, to help hold them down, or a sleek slip that would have kept her legs hidden, even though the dress/coat dress was flapping around in the wind.
ReplyDeleteDear Anon 22:48
DeleteWhat you say is absolutely correct?
But it appears that due to a security problem, what should have been their arrival in a train station was changed with (perhaps) short notice to an arrival by plane on a windy tarmac. Most probably, a quick change for a suitable airport arrival outfit for Camilla wasn’t possible.
