On November 6, 2025, Queen Camilla attended the 97th Field of Remembrance ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London, ahead of Armistice Day, which commemorates the end of World War I. The Field of Remembrance has been held in the grounds of Westminster Abbey since November 1928 to honor those who have lost their lives serving in the Armed Forces.
Beautiful woman. The hat is quirky.
ReplyDeleteThe coat-dress has strange details on the shoulder. And the boots needed to replaced.
A quoi correspond ce qui est épinglé sur son béret que sous le coquelicot de son manteau ; cela ressemble-t-il à une tête de mort ?!
ReplyDeleteGetting Michael Jackson vibes with the ornamental shoulder detail. I cannot explain what it is but this is a no from me
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness - yes - thank you for saying it! Totally MJ vibes here. This is truly the strangest fashion I have ever seen Queen Camilla wear. And I agree with the poster that mentioned the boots should be retired. Is there a sentimental or hidden/historic meaning behind any of this? If not, it's just, some sort of military/pop star cosplay.
DeleteYes!
DeleteAgree I am not into faux military looks. Having said that the coat fits well, but the toes of her boots need a brushing up. Not up to military standards
DeleteI'm sure the ornament on the hat is a regiment brooch of some type but it looks rather Halloweeny with the skull. The coat looks very military but I agree with Fitzhugh - getting Micheal Jackson vibes, for sure. The lines of the coat are beautiful, the piping outstanding but the shoulder epaulets could be better.
DeleteThe boots are the best part of the outfit. I don't see that those military-like details are necessary and I don't like them at all. Not the collar, not the shoulders, the beret would be OK but with no feathers in this angle or considerably smaller ones. And no golden buttons, especially not to silvery shoulders. No. No, no.
ReplyDeleteI have always being wondering why the British royal ladies had to wear these clothes semi military style ? I bed the military details on her coat doesn't appear on any military uniform of the British Armed forces.
ReplyDeleteI never saw Queen Elizabeth in such clothes. I've seen pictures of her on her horse when she was a young queen in a real uniform. She had every right to wear it because she was the Commander in Chief of the British Armed forces. Camilla and Sophie although they are wearing uniforms or clothes which ressemble uniforms none of them did military training.
But they both nevertheless have been appointed in a military rank!
DeleteI think there must be some military significance/meaning to the skull and crossbones pins on Camilla’s hat and coat, as well as the feathers. On anyone else, this outfit would look ridiculous, I think, but Camilla manages to pull it off - just barely.

The bages appear to be that of the Royal Lancers. The Queen in Colonel-inChief. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Lancers
DeleteQueen Camilla is Colonel in Chief of the Lancers regiment. A position she took over from Queen Elizabeth the second.
DeleteIt's the badge of the Royal Lancers, their motto is "Death or Glory", and this was the regiment of Queen Camilla's father, Major Bruce Shand. She now is Colonel-in-Chief to this regiment. She is not wearing it for the first time, she did so several times already, also the coat is a rewear.
DeleteToo much like a stage costume!
ReplyDeleteIn response to some rather `ignorant` comments :
ReplyDeleteQ Camilla is not making a fashion statement here. Her coat, which is well tailored, is a tribute to the uniform of the Royal Lancers, her father was their Colonel in Chief in WW2. The brooch belonged to Q Elizabeth and is the badge of her father`s regiment, the feathers are the regimental colours. Some rather `ignorant` comments
It is not difficult to call this outfit ridiculous, but I for me love it!
ReplyDeleteOdznaky s lebkou a zkříženými hnáty na Camillině klobouku a kabátu? To je zlé. Myslím, že to není dobré pro královnu.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I am not the only one any more who doesn't like the military looking clothes. I've said it years ago each time when around Armistice these clothes are taken out of the mot balls. They should better wear a simple black or navy coat with a normal dark hat and better looking boots in case she has quickly cold feet..
