My granny used to have a hat like Max’s feather one. I borrowed it for dress up back in the 80s

I like a lot of Camilla’s outfits. And she gives a good hat 🎩

MotherofPearl · 19/02/2020 08:39

I think Camilla generally wears outfits that suit her, and she usually looks good. I really dislike her furry hats though. On the other hand, no-one carries off really big blingy diamond jewellery as well as she does. She really suits huge ropes of them that would overwhelm others.

I love Camilla's blush pink hat / outfit at Ascot. Who is it designed/ made by ?
Is Camilla long or short waisted ?
Sometimes suit skirts and dresses with soft pleats on the skirt part look a little odd/off iykwim on her. They dont fall well. I think a straighter skirt suits her better.

That Max hat - no, just no. Even Max isn't really pulling it off.

Re: PA and her enviable figure - she probably still mucks out, rides regularly and goes for long dog walks.

Max's hat looks ok from the front. From the back it just looks like a bird has landed on her head!!

Tootreeticki · 19/02/2020 17:41

I think Camilla's wardrobe is generally from Anna Valentine, with hats from Philip Treacy or Locke. Custom made pumps and that's that. Her public uniform. Then jeans and Barbour privately.

HMQ opening a dental hospital today. Purple is one of my least favourite colours and anyone decked out in it always looks a little like the purple one from a box of Quality Street, to my mind. I know she likes brights and the rationale behind it, but I prefer her more muted looks. Beautiful brooch though, and of course she is amazing, especially for her age.

Harry and Meghan are heading back to the UK later this month and have several events lined up before their official departure date of 31 March. At the very least it'll provide us with a few outfits to discuss!

That's two RF divorces announced since Christmas. They're dropping like flies.

mathanxiety · 20/02/2020 01:33

Actually two in a week...

AudacityOfHope · 20/02/2020 10:40

God, imagine being in your 90s and having to get dressed up to the nines to open...a dental hospital.

I'd have abdicated a good 20 years ago and enjoyed my riches.

Mathilde in a leather skirt that I suspect she's borrowed from Maxima!

Gosh! Mathilde in a leather skirt! They will be gossiping over the aperos in Bastogne about that! Wine
I think she looks great.

MotherofPearl · 20/02/2020 14:53

I think the skirt looks great on her - really suits her!

MotherofPearl · 20/02/2020 15:16

Quite like this colour blue but I reckon she's trolling us with these black boots now!

AdaColeman · 20/02/2020 15:53

I like Camilla in that pretty periwinkle blue, but she's wearing those black boots deliberately to goad us now! Wink

NoGravyForYou · 20/02/2020 16:06

Those boots must be very comfortable

thisenglishlife · 20/02/2020 16:24

The boots are all right

MotherofPearl · 20/02/2020 16:47

The boots are alright with certain outfits and looks, but she seems to just wear them with anything and everything, regardless of whether they go or not! To my eye they really spoil the blue outfit.

TSSDNCOP · 20/02/2020 16:47

Queen do you suppose Givenchy do sackcloth? Poor MM will need it to brave the press pack.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/02/2020 17:20

Hah yes, with Princess Anne walking behind her ringing a bell while intoning "SHAME"!

MM and Harry will be OK, they can grit their teeth and think this is why we escaped and we will be back there in a few days. It is rather like attending a work event and staying in a hotel for a few days. Has to be done but you can look forward to home.

TSSDNCOP · 20/02/2020 17:37

I wonder if Camilla likes the boots at they hide bruises of the type you get when you have older skin. If a dog/child/piece of furniture clonk DM she bruises very badly.

But I like them anyway and I look forward to her hats.
