Camilla, Queen of hats ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/camilla-queen-of-hats-134680/)

QuoteWhen it comes to headwear, the Duchess of Cornwall never disappoints. Her love of oversized, wide-brimmed hats trimmed with festive feathers, flowers, and swirls always makes for an interesting headpiece moment. She is certainly not afraid to ?go for it? and in my opinion, the bigger, the better when it comes to hats.

I think she over does it. She seems to be trying to imitate the QUeen Mum which is not a good idea.

I don't think she is trying to imitate anyone, but I will agree that at times her choices miss the mark. Most of the time, however, they are in good taste and attention-getting without being vulgar. I also think she looks good in hats, which not everyone does.

I love hats.. I think its a shame they have gone out of fashion.. One of the things I love aborad a holiday in the US is that I have a good excuse (I burn easily) for wearing a hat to keep off the sun

Well they do resemble the "flying saucer" style hats the Queen Mum used to wear. The fur hat she regularly wears is not exactly politically correct.

I don't think she looks good in those big feathered hats or the large ones. Just a bit much with her big hair.

It's amazing that Diana varied her hairdo one time and got criticized. I saw pictures of Camilla "overshadowing" the Queen wearing a large hat.

Amabel: I agree it is sad that hats have gone out of style. The last three weddings I attended I was the ONLY one wearing a hat. But it isn't just hats - there is far too much casual dressing nowadays in my view. I have seen folks in jeans attending wakes and funerals. That is just plain disrespectful as far as I am concerned.

Here's a look at one of Camilla's sapphire necklaces gifted from Saudi Arabia, that hasn't been seen too frequently.

From Her Majesty's Jewel Vault: The Duchess of Cornwall's Saudi Sapphire Demi-Parure (http://queensjewelvault.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-duchess-of-cornwalls-saudi-sapphire.html)

QuoteFirst publicly worn to the Prince's Trust Gala in November 2006, the necklace features a diamond base with nine sapphire and diamond pendants. Matching sapphire and diamond earrings were later worn with the set. These pieces were Camilla's choice to wear to the state banquet held for King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia at Buckingham Palace in 2007, leading me to speculate that sapphire demi-parure was specifically a gift from the late King himself. Official gifts are not The Duchess of Cornwall's private property, as explained more fully in our feature on the Saudi Ruby Demi-Parure.

I've added a poll to this thread asking members to vote on their favorite of Camilla's tiaras that she's been seen wearing since her marrying into the BRF.
I chose the Cubitt-Shand as I find the others to be too large. Personally, I prefer the smaller and more delicate ones.

IMO that is one of Camilla's best evening looks in a long time. The light mint green is beautiful with her hair color. Also it's a nice little nod to the green found in so many Middle Eastern nation's flags including Jordan.

Camilla's long tunic and trousers in white for the Centenary Event. Camilla's worn several versions of the long tunic and flowing trousers whenever she's in a warm climate or when visiting a more conservative society when on official visits.

White is always good in hot climates, especially if you are not great in dealing with heat and humid climates, which is something Camilla suffers from. Complete opposite to me, more heat the better. I was a cat in a former life! But dressing for comfort seems to be a must for C when she visits these places. And it?s true, light colours like mint green looks terrific with white.

I am loving Camilla's outfits for this official visit to Jordan and Egypt. Beautiful colors and flowing fabrics that are respectful of the more conservative dress seen on many of the women in those nations.

Camilla's been dressed by Anna Valentine for many years now and created Camilla's white outfit for her wedding to the PoW in 2005. Valentine has also designed looks for the Countess of Snowden, Lady Sarah Chatto and Laura Lopes.

Anna Valentine: Biography (https://www.hellomagazine.com/profiles/anna-valentine/)

Quotehe beautifully finished creations in luxury fabrics produced by designer Anna Valentine and her business partner Antonia Robinson under their label Robinson Valentine were appreciated by the elite few for over a decade with relative anonymity. That was until they were introduced, through a mutual friend, to a certain Camilla Parker Bowles.

From the Royal Collection Trust.

Garrard & Co - Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mothers Crown (https://www.rct.uk/collection/31703/queen-elizabeth-the-queen-mothers-crown)

Quote
The crown has a platinum frame set with 2,800 diamonds, mainly cushion-shaped but with some rose-cut and some brilliant-cut. The band, comprising alternating clusters formed as crosses and rectangles, is bordered with single rows of brilliant-cut diamonds and set at the front with a large diamond, which was given to Queen Victoria in 1856 by the Sultan of Turkey. Above the band are four fleurs-de-lis and four crosses-patt?e. The front cross holds the Koh-i-N?r diamond in a detachable platinum mount. The four tapering half-arches are removable, and are surmounted by a pav?-set monde and a cross, set with a rock-crystal replica of the Lahore Diamond (presented to Queen Victoria by the East India Company in 1851). Fitted with a purple velvet cap and ermine band.

This crown was made in 1937 for Queen Elizabeth, consort of King George VI, using many stones already in the collection. Most of the diamonds were removed from Queen Victoria's Regal Circlet. The Koh-i-n?r diamond had been successively mounted in the crowns of Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary, and was once again reset for this crown. The Turkish diamond was a gift from Sultan Abdul Medjid to Queen Victoria in 1856 as a gesture of gratitude for British support during the Crimean War.

Queen Elizabeth wore the crown without its arches at the State Openings of Parliament during the reign of King George VI, and again at the coronation of her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, in 1953.
Provenance

The crown was created for Queen Elizabeth for the coronation of King George VI on 12 May 1937.

The crown was also displayed upon her coffin on its journey to Westminster Abbey.

Camilla's aquamarine brooch was a gift from South Africa back in 1947. It's typical for royals to wear jewelry  that has a connection to the nation that they're visiting or hosting.

Graving Dock Diamond Brooch | Gift from the South African Railways and Harbour Administration| Queen Elizabeth II. Brooch|Diamonds Queens Jewels (https://www.royal-magazin.de/england/queen/graving-dock-diamonds-birthday-gift-present.htm)

QuoteWhile the Royal Family was on tour in South Africa, the South African Railways and Harbour Administration presented a gift to Princess Elizabeth after she opened the then new East London Graving dock on 3 March 1947. 
The present was "five large diamonds from Government mines on the Orange River, flawless stones exquisitely cut" (two half-moon and three emerald-cut diamonds), valued at ?3700 for mounting in a bar brooch. See the picture above for the brooch and the casket on display. 
At first in the newspapers was reported to build a bracelet or bangle with the diamonds.

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.

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.
