On November 21, 2024, Queen Camilla, Vice-Patron of the Royal Commonwealth Society, hosted a reception at Buckingham Palace for the winners and runners-up of The Queen's Commonwealth Essay Competition 2024. The competition, organized by the Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) since 1883, is the world’s oldest writing competition for schools.
For 2024, the competition theme was ‘Our Common Wealth’. A record-breaking 34,939 children from across the Commonwealth entered this year’s competition, with winners and runners-up coming from Malaysia, Singapore, and Uganda. The Queen presented certificates to them during the event.
At the end of the reception, the Queen watched a performance by Ngāti Rānana London Māori Club. Ngāti Rānana, whose members hail from New Zealand, was invited to perform at The Queen’s Commonwealth Essay Competition 2024 Award Ceremony in celebration of the Queen’s recent visit to the Pacific.
This is a pretty green outfit. I'm not sure what type of brooch she is wearing, but its perfect with this dress.
ReplyDeleteCamilla looks good. The green suits her and it looks very festive and appropriate for the season. She looks very relaxed around people, too, I like that.

Like the green dress but sad to see the boots reappearing for an indoor function.
ReplyDeleteHer signature look very nice colour green. Must be getting chilly the boots are back
ReplyDeleteNo fashion surprises from Camilla.
DeleteThose boots are ugly.
I hope she is enjoying good health again.
I really like this dress also the color. Camilla is busy again after being ill. Hope she is feeling fine again.

She is doing great!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the green dress is good too!
Good color. But that's about it. The dress is too long and the shoulders too wide and too high as usual.
ReplyDeleteThe eternal boots make the dress look heavy and dowdy, the look would be much fresher with suitable pumps.

Très jolie robe verte mais pour cette réception au palais de Buckingham, il me semble que le port de chaussures aurait mieux convenu !
ReplyDeleteThe best queen we could have!
ReplyDeleteBecause of her fashion?
Delete14:23, yes she seems to do a very good job, cheerfully, hardworking and I particularly like seeing her in “at home “ events where she seems to create an intimate and approachable atmosphere for her visitors. Regarding boots plus dress, why not?; it’s a cosy thing to wear a longer hemline dress or skirt with boots. Whereas the cost of the coronation has drawn outrage, Camilla keeps her shoe budget seemingly low and that’s a good thing I think. - Grace
DeleteCamilla keeps her budget for her complete "garderobe" low. During Spring and Summer we've seen her now and then with a new pair of shoes. She could do the same during Winter. At least for the events that place "at home". Or maybe she has to wear boots because it is not warm enough in Buckingham Palace. You said it yourself : the cost of the coronation has draw outrage. Well you can spend your money only once. But they still have enough money to do a make over of their clothes both the king and the queen.
DeleteWell yes, Anon 06.21. but I don't understand what your point is.🤔
DeleteI've read it twice and I'm still a bit puzzled.
But don't worry, I'm noted for being a bit thick.
Anyway, at the end of the day, it's nice to see her up and about.

DeleteIt was my reaction on what Grace wrote. Maybe read Grace first.

Thanks Anon 06:21 for the information.
DeleteLook don't worry. When it comes to comprehension my hubby always says I'm two brickd short of being a house 😀
How do you know how great of a queen Diana would have been? Seems an unnecessary comment on a fashion blog. If anything, Diana’s style was miles ahead of Camilla’s. Since this is a fashion blog, that’s the only comparison we can make in keeping with the point of the conversation.
DeleteOn that point, Camilla has found one cut that she feels comfortable with, looks alright if a little too predictable in most cases. If you look at Princess Benedikte (similar age group with Camilla) she has such a great sense of style and whilst she has a few “favourites”, it is not another repeat of the same. And Benedikte wears comfortable shoes, but isn’t stuck wearing always unstylish boots (including indoor).

Lovely green dress! Queen Camilla looks pretty and very much recovered from her recent illness. How exciting it must have been for the winners to travel to London and have the Queen present them with their awards.
