On March 27, 2024, Queen Camilla visited Shrewsbury Farmers’ Market in Shropshire. There, the Queen met with traders and customers. The Queen then visited the recently restored Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, before meeting with local volunteer groups including the Shrewsbury Food Hub, Shrewsbury Interfaith forum, Save our Shropshire and Shropshire Supports Refugees.
I really like this coat. Great tailoring and good colour.
ReplyDeleteSuperbe idée que d'avoir ressorti son élégant manteau camel original sur les bordures ; jolies petites broches dont l'une a l'air de représenter une abeille mais l'autre ?!
ReplyDeleteThat "send our love to Kate"-sign is heartwarming!
ReplyDeleteI'm really taking on Q.Camilla by the day.
ReplyDeleteShe performs her duties impeccably.
Yes, Madame, please, send the King and the Princess of Wales my love and heartfelt wishes for a complete and speedy recovery too.
* I'm really taking a liking to Q.Camilla
ReplyDeleteI am almost convinced that Queen Camilla looks at this blog. She saw Queen Maxima with her spiders and decided to let the bees out of her jewelry box.
ReplyDeleteYou know, she is the one British royal who I could imagine looking at this blog and having such a laugh at the comments written about her and the rest of the family.
DeleteNice coat and she looks like she’s really enjoying meeting people
Camilla looks wonderful... Lovely coat, warm personality... Love her
ReplyDeleteI love the coat, but I love the insect accessories even more! It's Spring after all (hehe) and surprisingly, I actually have an almost exact replica of that honey bee piece that I've had for decades; it never fails to get a whimsical positive reaction every time I use it.
ReplyDeleteI like the detailing of Camilla's coat along the collar, front seam, and up the sleeve cuffs. The softer coat fabric indicate a lightweight but still warm Spring coat.

I do like the bee pins!
DeleteWell some got the creeps of Maxima's spiders, I get the same feelings of Camilla's bees. Maybe because I have been attacked on holiday by a bee or the like one day. They brought me to a hospital and the doctors there took it very seriously. Received a boost of antibiotics. Lucky the day after my leg where it attacked was less swollen, but I did had to rest with it, my leg laying higher.
ReplyDeleteI like this repeat coat Camilla is wearing, I think the stitching on it gives it nice interest. I personally would not choose the bee brooches … but they don’t make me shudder like Maxima’s massive spider brooches!

Apparently, the bee brooch belonged to her late Majesty QE II, but the other brooch, featuring a fly, seems to come from Queen Camilla's own jewel box. She also brought out a pair of never before seen flower brooches today for Royal Maundy Service at Worcester Cathedral, also from QE's jewel collection. I very much like that she brings pieces to light that were rarely or never seen before.
ReplyDeleteVery nice and great looking coat. I see the has the bee pins on. css
ReplyDeleteHear all, hear all - spring is here.
ReplyDeleteThe birds and bees and spiders all cometh out to play.
Happy and gay in a very Royal way.
(with excuses to Mister Shakespeare)
The brooches are unique and original. I don't normally like insect jewellery but these are the exception, they both look fabulous, especially worn with the coat, adding interest.
ReplyDeleteYes, the coat and the bee brooches are nice, but I would have placed first the smaller brooch and underneath the bigger one. Camilla is "down to earth" and as we can see now a great support for the king and the whole royal family.
ReplyDeleteDiana, although loved and admired by many, wasn't. She was doing her own thing, putting her in the centre of events.

DeleteI have always learned from and been told by my mother that from people who are no longer among us one must not speak in a bad way.
For myself I think the following : Princess Diana did not have to do much to be in the centre of events. Her presence alone was enough. She cared for sick people, for handicapped children, for poor children in Africa etc... She was the people's princess, or did you forget that ? I could say much more but I won't because I am well educated by my late parents.
Dear Anon16:43
DeleteYour mother did a good job. She gave you good advice.
You can be proud of her. The advice from my mum was, “careful what you say, the dead can not defend themselves”.
@deadeggs
DeleteThank you for your comprehension. Happy to hear how it sounds in English "careful what you say, the dead........." . It means the same what my mother told me. I know it is impossible sometimes to translate a saying.
@Anonymous 16:43
ReplyDeleteThank you for telling me that i am not "well educated" according to you and your late mother. You obviously aren't well educated either. And you are one of those people who cannot bear any criticism concerning the late princess Diana. So let me cite the former cardinal of Westminster Cathedral and what he said (rightly in my view) on Diana: "She was clearly flawed but much loved by the people".
When I read what the “two men of God”, that is the Cardinal Basil Hume and the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Coggan, said about Diana,The Princess of Wales, it confirms how happy I am being an atheist.

ReplyDelete1. I did not say you are not well educated. I said that one must not speak in a bad way from people who are passed away.
2. Well from a cardinal I would not have expected such talk on a lady that was the mother of the heir to the trone, and a deceased person. Whether you like it or not Lady Diana had a lot of qualities. Queen Elizabeth II said it herself that Princess Diana was a good mother for her children and that she did an excellent job how she brought them up.
3. I bet you are also someone from the camp that hate Prince Harry and his family.
Perhaps we should leave what happened in a crowded Royal marriage 20 odd years ago to the history books and move on.
DeleteI’m going to spend my time going back to look at those cakes we saw during Queen Mathilde’s visit to the Hotel School in Ghent.
Suppose I should do a bit of fashion work and take a look at the dress she was wearing. Can’t remember the colour.
Dear Deadeggs, I am glad you defended Princess Diana. We are all flawed. She was indeed in a crowded marriage and I have certainly not forgotten the details from excellent sources.

Yes but Virgina, I think it’s time to move on.
DeleteThe episode is well documented in Royal history.
Pulling it to bits again is not going to change anything.
Time to have some fun with our “ifs and buts” on this fashion blog.
Virginia, I forgot to mention, if you are interested take a look at the biography on Princess Diana’s mother (Mrs. Shand Kydd).
DeleteAfter two failed marriages, she died alone at the age of 68 in a modest cottage on Seil Island, near Oban in Scotland.
Both Prince William and Prince Harry attended her funeral.
In her later years she converted to the Roman Catholic faith.
Prince Charles did not attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.
Dear Deadeggs, I read the biography of Princess Diana’s mother many years ago, but thank you for mentioning the book to me. Although I have moved on, I was very annoyed by the comments from 8:41. One must be fair.
