On June 9, 2022, Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall held a reception at Buckingham Palace to celebrate the Commonwealth Diaspora of the UK, ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) which will take place in Kigali in Rwanda later this month. CHOGM was going to be held in Kigali in June 2020 but was postponed twice because of the pandemic.

  1. Epoustouflante Camilla dans ce style de robe tant au niveau de la coupe que des motifs bicolores ; cela lui apporte une merveilleuse silhouette ; j'aime beaucoup sa pochette mais la partie crême de ses chaussures serait mieux en blanc !

  2. Does she have a clutch in her hand or is that the teacosy we saw when her mother in law was having tea with Paddington bear?

      Definitely a teacosy, one of those that you sew yourself following a tutorial from the internet. The material only looks extraordinary, it is made of recolored coats. So it's very likely Paddington Bear's.

    2. I knew it, I knew it. Thanks for the confirmation Mr. Holmes.

    3. In case you missed the video of The Queen having a cup of tea with Paddington bear, the link is below.
      Fashion note. Paddington was dressed as well as he could be for such an occasion.

      That clutch is traditional Palestinian embroidery work. Nice way to support often forgotten people.

      My dear,
      Many thanks for the nice conversation.
      Now I've also seen the Paddington video and the tea cosy. There is indeed a resemblance.

    Gosh, it seems that Mathilde and now Camilla are really doing their share to promote geometric prints in recent days - and I like it.
    This is a lovely summer red - not too dark and not too bright, and the simple style of the dress suits both the fabric and Camilla nicely. The shape is flattering to her figure; I just wish she had ditched those shoes in favour of a pair of dark red pumps. But otherwise quite lovely.

      The geometric prints are fashion. Lucky the little flowers time is over. This is a beautiful dress, good cut and the color suits Camilla very well. But she just had to replace her shoes like you said by dark red ones.

    The dress is lovely on the DoC and I am happy to see that she is wearing much better bra support than she has in the past. But I don't get why she paired those shoes with that dress at all. Way off!

      She paired those shoes because she is comfortable and pain free in them. Like so many ladies of her age, she is rumoured to have foot issues and I am realising that she no longer dresses her feet for style but rather for comfort. The warm comfortable boots are another example of this.

    2. Good point @ Anon 9:13. about comfort etc.
      But please, can we not even mention the word as those boots are going to be back with us as soon as the weather cools down :-))

    Very pretty dress. Love the color and the print. Her hair is styled nicely, but it covers her earrings which appear to be a gold material. (Debra)

    I think she looks wonderful here. The colour and fit of the dress are both excellent, and her hair and makeup are good too. I don’t mind the shoes. At least they are a change from the suede boots! (V.M.)

    One of her best Looks so far, except the elegant little black the other day.
    The UK-Royals cannot solve conflicts, but otherwise they can do everything.

    The dress is ok, something slightly different than the usual frock. The shoes with that dress looked out of place and rather ugly. Ruined the entire outfit when I saw those.
