She had some similar outfits when they went to India and Pakistan several years ago, I think.

KillingMeDeftIy · 23/10/2024 17:58

Sometimes I prefer their tour wardrobes to what they where at home. Like when Kate went to India - the luxe boho look really suited her!

justasking111 · 23/10/2024 18:27

I think Camilla really suits this look.

Catherine was doing less last year tending to stay closer to home when they relocated to Windsor. Perhaps because of the children, school.

Harassedevictee · 23/10/2024 20:36

I like Camilla’s outfit and think that style suits quite a lot of women. I also think it may also be quite cool.

Eaumyword · 23/10/2024 22:30

I love that outfit on Cams. Looks lovely and cool whilst remaining appropriate and smart.

New portrait released ahead of the King's birthday.

I think it's very nice, and I see rather a lot of his father in this one.

Heheheh. I don't actually mind the safari suits from a sartorial viewpoint.

justasking111 · 24/10/2024 08:19

The expression on Camilla's face 😂

What's with the fuzzy bit in front of his ear??

Choux · 24/10/2024 08:28

To disguise how much his ears stick out?

My FiL looks much better with his hair cut short, but he has a thing that his ears are overly large (they are not) so yes, maybe Charles is conscious of his ears 🤷‍♀️. I was thinking how much Charles looks like his late mother in the mouth area

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 24/10/2024 10:04

Yes @smilesy the mouth is his mother's. The eyes and nose look very like Prince Philip's to me.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 24/10/2024 10:38

Actually no, Prince Philip had a rather handsome nose. Charles' is a little different, more bulbous, not his mother's either. But something around the nose reminded me of the DoE. Maybe it's the cheekbones. In any case I think it's a lovely portrait. Very distinguished.

The Swedes, including all the grandchildren, are off to Brazil. Madeleine is staying home and will be regent/whatever it's called while they're away.

RomainingToBeSeen · 24/10/2024 10:51

Looking at the pictures of Charles' Samoan ensemble I'd put money on it being a safari suit from the cupboard that's been 'repurposed'.

Quite like the portrait but can't unsee the ear fuzz.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 24/10/2024 10:53

I really don't mind the fuzzy sideburns! I think it's rather sweet - a touch of gentlemanly eccentricity.

Harassedevictee · 24/10/2024 14:32

I know it’s not a popular view on here but I always thought the safari suits looked better than the diplomats sweating it out in dark suit trousers, shirt and tie.

Eaumyword · 24/10/2024 15:49

Not keen on safari type suits 🥴
Big nope to the fuzzy ears either!
Seeing Charles and Cams on tv earlier, he has lost a lot of weight bless him. His treatment must have taken its toll on him.

I think a pale-coloured or linen suit would be a good compromise.

I like Leti’s dress.
Here is Leonor receiving an honorary mayoress title, Albert and daughter Jazmin at the Princess Grace gala in New York and one I forgot to post yesterday of Eugenie and Jack on a night out in London.

Jazmin looks very glamorous! Stunning gown. I'm not keen on these trouser suits, they rarely seem to fit well.

😍😍Charles tropical outfit!

When I see a Safari suit I think of Daktari 😂
