On February 25, 2025, Queen Camilla visited the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge in Canterbury to unveil a life-size bronze statue of Aphra Behn, who is considered the first professional female writer in the English language and one of the most popular playwrights of the 17th century. The Queen then toured the museum and watched the Royal Shakespeare Company perform an extract from The Rover, one of Behn's plays.
Aphra Behn was born near Canterbury in 1640. She died on April 16, 1689, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Behn was the first professional female writer in English literature. She is also known to have acted as a British spy in Antwerp in 1666. Her best-known works include Oroonoko: or, The Royal Slave, sometimes described as an early novel, and the play The Rover.
I am the same age as Camilla and follow one iron rule: No beige. Or: no beige anywhere near the face. But if it has to be this coat: not without a little colourful shawl or loop tucked in around the neck. Which has two great advantages: 1. adds colours 2. hides the neck.
ReplyDeleteHer signature look, however I do not particularly like the lacing edge.
ReplyDeleteQueen Camilla seems to have cut her hair. This fluffy hairdo looks fresh and becoming. The boots are not to my liking, somewhat chunky.

I like the boots. I think they look nice. I am thrilled that she is wearing a different pair of boots!

ReplyDeleteLike this soft colour on her very much: her hair is light enough not to make it mousy.
ReplyDeleteUne tenue que je lui ai déjà vue dans une autre couleur ; je n'aime pas du tout les bords particuliers de son manteau ; par contre, ravie que Camilla ait choisi des bottes très souples qui améliorent son look !
