On July 9, 2024, Queen Camilla hosted a 30th anniversary party for the National Literacy Trust. The reception took place at Clarence House. The Queen has been a patron of the National Literacy Trust since 2010. Over the past 30 years, the National Literacy Trust has supported more than five million children with reading and writing skills and worked with nearly 17,000 schools.
The reception brought together bestselling authors and volunteers for the National Literacy Trust – which works to give children and adults of all ages literacy skills – to celebrate the charity’s 30th anniversary.
A re wear but I like this pattern and colour on the queen
ReplyDeleteCet imprimé floral convient toujours à Camilla que je trouve un peu amincie !
ReplyDeleteI understand why Camilla is so loved!
ReplyDeleteThere is no question, Camilla is doing a good job and it is correct that she should be noted for this.
DeleteHowever, her P.R. team are not getting the results they would like on her popularity rating.
Various polls show that she still hasn’t hit the 50% “like” from the British public.
Several polls have her, in round terms, with a 25% non favourable opinion and 25% with a “neutral” opinion.
Fashion wise, her frock is a good choice for the occasion. It’s a sigh of relief to see that the boots are still in the cupboard or at the cobbler’s.
The National Literacy Trust is doing excellent work.
Bravo.
I liked this dress when she wore it before, and I still do. Very nice.

Love this dress on Camilla. Can’t figure out what it is exactly that makes it “pop” so wonderfully on her, but it’s miraculous!
ReplyDeleteI think it’s shorter than the dresses she usually wears, and not so loose. Looks better doesn’t it! :)
DeleteBeautifull pattern and colours on this flowing dress.
ReplyDeleteI also like this flowery, floaty dress but the bland colour of the shoes, a no from me.

This is a lovely summer dress for Queen Camilla. If only she didn't forget to take the hanger away. Someone should take away these large shoulder pads from all her dresses to begin with. I wonder what kind of cake is served. It looks very industrial to me. (On a visit to London I bought a piece of cake with apples in a bakery. It was fresh and very delicious).
ReplyDeleteI doubt whether Camilla‘s popularity rating will go up, the team around King Charles resp. Prince Charles have been working on this issue ever since Diana‘s death, this is a fashion blog so that I will concentrate on what I see and not on
ReplyDeletemoral aspects.

Yes Virginia, the P.R. team have had a big challenge over a long period and I think it hasn't finished yet.
DeleteThis dress is very appropriate for the event. She looks lovely. Little one in the two piece grey suit looks fantastic.

DeleteThe little boy is dressed like a man in his fifth-s. It is sad. There are suits for children which are looking sportive and dressed-up at the same time. A little boy of his age must wear a red or yellow tie or another bright color. The shoulder pads are as big as for an adult man. The jacket is too long and so are the trousers. One can dress children so badly that they are looking like old people. If a child has to wear something ceremonial, there are a lot of brands where you can find such clothes adapted for children like white/off white pants and a navy blazer i.e. or a tweed sporty suit (only to wear during winter).
Queen Camilla's dress is lovely and so is she! She is doing a wonderful job and I love seeing her interact with children as she seems to have such a marvelous way of engaging them. The photo of the little boy explaining or telling her something is adorable.
