I can't see much of the dress, but I'm afraid I hate the headband fascinator thingy with the veil.

It's very Malificent 🙈

Own it!

I do, in fact can I please take ownership of it on the Spreadsheet of Splendour!

SqueakyDinosaur · 23/10/2025 14:46

I think it's great. I love Camilla's accessories game anyway. If this was Max I suspect more people would like it.

I remember when I was confirmed at the knees up afterwards I was introduced to the bishop, who held out his hand saying "You may kiss the ring"

Eeuw I thought no thanks, germ ridden old ruby. So I pretended to 😂

I quite like it. To me the shape is a bit reminiscent of her wedding headdress which I absolutely loved.

Maireas · 23/10/2025 15:43

I liked her wedding headdress, in fact the whole look, really.

Yes it reminded me of her wedding as well

Camilla’s blinged up mantilla is dreadful. She should’ve just worn the mantilla without trying to make it into something else.

I think the Queen's overall look is great but don't like the headpiece - maybe better if the leaves were smaller. I wonder if they were supposed to symbolise something?

I love the brooch.

I like the headdress...Mary Robinson got criticised for wearing green when she met the pope as president of Ireland.
I think this wearing black and headcover needs to be axed.
When we get our new Irish president we have either a Presbyterian or a leftwing lady who likes a trouser suit...I can imagine meeting the pope might be interesting.

Can’t see Catherine covering her head for any man Pope or not.

AppleDumplingWithCustard · 23/10/2025 16:43

I saw Camilla’s headpiece and immediately thought of the Statue of Liberty. 😂

Can’t see Catherine covering her head for any man Pope or not.

She has worn a headscarf for visits to mosques in Pakistan and Malaysia, and to a Muslim centre in London, so I can’t imagine why she wouldn’t follow protocol if she visited the pope - its similarly respecting the religious custom.

Camilla wore a considerably more low-key look when she met Pope Benedict as Duchess of Cornwall though - perhaps she wanted to wear something more dramatic this time?

Because of all the royalness I thought of Catherine the princess of Wales. Who is a very different person to Catherine Connolly the potential president!

Maireas · 23/10/2025 17:03

Yes, @Serenster , I think @FabulousPharmacyst means Catherine Connolly TD!

Looks like CC is in the lead for the Presidency, btw.

That mantilla is lovely @Serenster, and would have gone beautifully with the plain silk outfit she wore today (better than the outfit she wore it with, in my opinion)

Hobbithermit · 23/10/2025 17:16

I like the white outfit that Queen Camilla has now changed into.

She has covered her head when visiting mosques.

Apologies. Reading on i see i had the wrong Catherine

Serenster · 23/10/2025 18:01

Me too! I am not as familiar with the Irish presidential candidates as other posters, clearly. 😀
