Camilla does look lovely today.

Did anyone see her struggling to get down the plane steps in a howling gale trying to hold onto the rail, her hat and handbag . Thought Charles wasn't very gallant galloping ahead not checking that she was ok. My OH does this, sometimes I just stop while he charges ahead and wait for him to notice. 🙄🙄🙄

I just came on to see if anyone mentioned it @justasking111 poor Camilla, couldn't they have sent up a gendarme to escort her down?!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/09/2023 03:08

Thanks for the new thread @Maireas will try not to disappear this time!

This. Or a French equivalent- surely thee must be a few?
She looked lovely in any case in that pink. And the navy. Lovely sapphire bling 😍

I watched the footage and felt for Camilla - she was trying to hold onto the hand rail, her hat and keep her skirt from flying up all at once. Having someone’s arm to hold as well, no matter who, would presumably have made it harder?

Maireas · 21/09/2023 06:36

Where was Johnny indeed! Although maybe it was a bit blustery for a gentleman in a kilt? 😕
I saw the news report this morning, Camilla looked very elegant in the Dior and sapphires. Brigitte's dress looked better than in the photos, also a lovely blue, sheer sleeves, very elegant and I liked her hair in the updo.

I thought Camilla looked fabulous. The dress is very elegant and a great background to the jewels. She wears them well.

Hhh

KnickerlessParsons · 21/09/2023 08:09

Oops! Sorry, ignore me.

MrsLeonFarrell · 21/09/2023 08:19

Lovely thread title, Camilla really wears bling well doesn't she, it never overwhelms her.

I have no espadrilles to store unfortunately but as I'm still in flip flops they'd be in circulation at this point!

These pictures are great. I wish I had Charlotte Gainsbourg’s legs !pictures: King Charles and Queen Camilla on state visit to France www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-66867649 See here

I have let Johnny out of the cupboard. He’s there somewhere.

ChicoryDip · 21/09/2023 10:10

I did see a photo of the lovely Johnny on Twitter with an enormous sporran. Let me see if I can find it...

ChicoryDip · 21/09/2023 10:16

Here's Johnny!

And a picture of Camilla's outfit this morning. Less successful than yesterday imo. The two necklines look a bit messy together. Nice shoes though!

Whilst I always think Mme Macron looks slightly terrifying I like the jacket she's wearing.

Camilla looking amazing in both outfits.

themessygarden · 21/09/2023 11:02

I really like Brigitte Macron's jacket too, I saw someone mention if she wears wigs, I remember reading in a french magazine that she wears hairpieces, not sure if that means a wig or extensions. Her hair always looks exactly the same, so I am guessing a wig.

Thank you for the new thread @Maireas.

I too thought Charles was the opposite of gallant as Camilla struggled with the wind and steps.
I remember reading that Prince Philip had to walk a few steps behind the Queen. Perhaps that was why Charles just kept going.
Though i think gallantry should outrank protocol.

Joan Collins proudly wears her wigs. It's interesting to see the different looks she achieves

MmePoppySeedDefage · 21/09/2023 13:36

I like Camilla's way of standing with one foot apart and in front. She looks so much more approachable than BM who I hate to say looks a bit like a Nutcracker doll, she stands so straight. Lovely red jacket today on BM though.

My DILS have 6ft nutcracker dolls, you're right I never noticed before.

I see Simon Cowell is a muse for royal fashion this season.

Gooseysgirl · 21/09/2023 14:18

I can report that Johnny was wearing his kilt again in Versailles with a short red kind of military dinner type jacket - I'm sure there's a correct name for it 😆 I spotted him during the live footage checking the table settings at the top table before the meal.

LadyEloise1 · 21/09/2023 14:57

I loved the pink silk or satin ribbon down the back of Camilla's pale pink coat on arrival in Paris.

Max's dress is beautiful ( photo @CliffsofMohair posted ).
Is it white or ice blue ?
