  1. This is a pretty green outfit. I'm not sure what type of brooch she is wearing, but its perfect with this dress.

  2. Camilla 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.

    1. No fashion surprises from Camilla.
      Those boots are ugly.
      I hope she is enjoying good health again.

  7. Good color. But that's about it. The dress is too long and the shoulders too wide and too high as usual.

  8. The eternal boots make the dress look heavy and dowdy, the look would be much fresher with suitable pumps.

  9. Très jolie robe verte mais pour cette réception au palais de Buckingham, il me semble que le port de chaussures aurait mieux convenu !

    1. Because of her fashion?

    2. 14:23, 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
