Queen Camilla
Wore a Bruce Oldfield

The simple, tailored silhouette was designed to look regal yet modern, with bracelet-length sleeves and a split front skirt. It is made from Peau de Soie silk fabric, woven by Stephen Walters in Suffolk. Embroideries on the dress were chosen to represent the King and Queen's love of nature and the British countryside; wildflowers from fields and hedgerows: daisy chains, forget-me-nots, celandine and scarlet pimpernel. There is also a line of celebratory bunting embroidery woven throughout, while the cuffs of each sleeve are also embroidered with the floral emblems of the four nations of the United Kingdom ' a rose, a thistle, a daffodil and a shamrock. The dress features a short train, designed to complement each of the two Robes worn for the Coronation Service. 

The Queen wore the gown with Elliot Zed shoes, and Queen Mary's Garrard & Co crown, a silver frame, lined with gold, and set with 2,200 diamonds, originally made for the 1911 coronation of Queen Mary. ''It has no jewels but diamonds, and the diamonds cluster together as if they had no support but their own light''.

Queen Camilla had hers and King Charles' rescue dogs, Bluebell and Beth, embroidered on her #Coronation gown

I like that Camilla had the dogs embroidered on her dress.  Dogs are family and I think it is very sweet that she wanted to include them on such a special, once-in-a-lifetime day.  And I think somewhere QE had a good laugh about it.

I?m sorry but I think Queen Camilla looks absolutely ridiculous in that pseudo Colonelcy uniform outfit. Other royal women all over the world including Queen Daisy of Denmark, have been given Hon Colonelcy rank in British regiments and just wear a hat, dress and coat when reviewing.

As for Anne, who hasn?t been within sniffing distance of an army camp in her life when not on royal duties, prancing around on foot and on horseback in a uniform she hasn?t earned, on ceremonial occasions, words fail me! These two are as well, women in their mid 70s. Sorry again but it just looks rather sad and quite pathetic.

There are very few military ceremonial or themed uniforms worn by the BRF.  It is a tradition.  I don't think it will change for Anne or Camilla in terms of 'reading the room', it seems to date loved or liked.

I?m not talking about it being ?loved or liked?. I?m talking about it being appropriate. How far do you want to go back?

William IV was in the RN for years.  Three of Queen Victoria?s four sons were in the armed services, however briefly. Alfred Duke of Edinburgh was in the RN for most of his life. Arthur the third son was in the British Army for most of his life. They wore uniforms on ceremonial occasions. Leopold was a haemophiliac and did not serve. He was not given an Hon Colonelcy in any British regiment where he had to appear in military garb.

Edward VIII?s sons both served in the services. George was in the RN for many years. Albert Victor was an officer in a Guards regiment briefly. They wore uniforms on occasions.

George V?s sons served in all three branches of the Services. They wore uniforms on military occasions.

George VI daughter Elizabeth served in the ATS during WW2. She later wore military uniform for TOC. Prince Philip, her Consort, served in the RN and later wore military uniform on occasion.

In none of those families did these males 70+ aged sisters or wives ever go flouncing around in ceremonial military uniforms at TOC, having never served in any of the armed forces.

I realise that the BRF are down to their bare bones with this, as Andrew and Harry, who did serve are out of it, and some like the Duke of Kent and his brother are now quite frail. However, with Edward, who quit Marine training and Charles and William the only ones left, (and it is debatable as to whether the King will be riding at TOC in his 80s) these elderly women are the only spares to put into a military uniform and a faux military dress? Its a farce, and looks it!

Different era, women nowadays different story. Equality, feminism, woke, every little or big buzz word used to date.

Same goes with retaining working royals or not tied to how it's done in corporate world in reference to Andrew and Harry. Until 1990's with no social media they'd probably would have a little scandal and 'carry on', to date, nope. Cancelled.

Today it is all about read the room. It is extremely hard to continue anything if the room says another thing, doing so is a instant massacre first in social media, then front page headlines. So, everyone public, in position of power, VIP's have to read the room, it's crucial. Basically a purported misstep today is different from a misstep yesteryear. A misstep today may sound very unfair, it would for the 99% of the population, but with the 1% who have aides left right and center doing their job, advising, it should all go good. Only stubborn bosses will ruin themselves. Andrew defending his friendship, Harry trashing and allowing to trash his family, factually seeking loopholes in the UK system paying only 10% of the 100% court costs, leaving his father to pick up the pieces because it DOES look bad with the monarch's citizens, etc. etc. etc.

IMO we should all remember this.

''Lady Susan Hussey, a lady-in-waiting of Queen Elizabeth's, apologized after charity founder Ngozi Fulani accused her of making racist...

Ngozi was dressed head to toe with a traditional costume of her African descent, dressing experts said that her costume didn't come cheap, IOW it was couture made. The event was to honor women who head charities. Her dress made Lady Susan start talking about it, which then ended out of context or not, depending on the circumstances etc. Insisting on where are you from because of the African heritage costume was a yikes moment.

Note: This is just an example of traditional wear, and my above comment of read the room, today era vs yesteryear, woke, feminism, equality, cancellation, etc.

@Curryong-I do agree regarding Queen Camilla's new dress for the ToC on Saturday. I understand the nod to her new role as the Honorary Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, but I'm not sure of the execution of the dress as it comes of as a "costume."  Honestly, I would have preferred to see her in the uniform rather than this dress.

As to the Princess Royal's choice to wear her Blues and Royals uniform, I don't have an issue with her wearing it. I find that she serves as a role model to the future Queen Regnants in Belgium, Netherlands, Norway and Spain by wearing their nations' uniforms even if they don't attend their respective military academies. So far we know that  Princesses Elisabeth and Leonor will do so, but we don't know about Amalia or Ingrid Alexandra at this point in time.

  I've seen photos of the Princess of Wales,   Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess of Edinburgh in either their regiment's uniforms or training gear and like the PR, they haven't served in the Armed Forces either. The late QEII was the last woman in the BRF to have actually served in the Armed Forces. Most of her female royal peers: QMI and former QBI (Princess Beatrix) didn't serve in their nations' forces either but certainly had an honorary role.

From past to present Queen Mary,Queen Elizabeth they NOW Queen Camilla
It was on our stamps and coins. It was paid for by the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland. So bravo to Kate and Camilla for wearing THAT tiara - a

Interesting, yet I did not care for the Girls on Camilla at all.  And I sure did not like that gown she wore either, just a big NO for me.  A more simple gown, even if was all sequins would of look better on her yet I would of preferred a simple black silk gown with no sequins or embroidery at all, and a brooch.   More is less as the fashion world says.
