    An unsual choice for her but I like it. The style is very q. Camilla. The evening temperatures are dropping to 13 at night but daytime still up in high 20 so she's chosen well

    It’s a little hard to see, but I think the Queen is wearing a jumpsuit!!! What a great, although slightly surprising, fashion choice. I think jumpsuits are so easy to wear and elevate an outfit…so fun and modern!

      Yes I think it might be a jumpsuit too. I’m intrigued by you saying they are modern as my mum was wearing them in the 60s-70s. I think it’s just another fashion that comes around every now and then. I’m also intrigued by you saying they’re easy to wear as I find them difficult 1/ if you’re too hot how do you strip off a layer at top - it’s all or nothing ; and 2/ going to the toilet entails having to unzip from the top. Not modern, not easy to wear, but they can look great in the right design on the right body.

    I find the dress is too long. - Ellie

      Non mi sembra, non tocca il pavimento e si vedono bene le scarpe (3^ e 4^ foto).
      Se fosse stato più corto avrebbe perso in eleganza.

      I love the colour, but the jumpsuit gives Camilla no shape at all . LRB

  6. The Queen looks lovely, but does this look like a jumpsuit? The blue and white floral colored clutch is lovely from what I can see, nice for contrast color. Love the color of her shoes, gorgeous.

      It is a jumpsuit. What does “just saying” mean? Is it a way to cover over a comment which corrects another person?

    Mi sembra di aver già visto questo outfit e credo sia una tuta…che dire? A me piace molto questa scelta, la trovo moderna e il colore è tra quelli che più le stanno bene.
    Non voglio scatenare polemiche inutili, ma Camilla riesce a vestire meglio di Anna…il che dice tutto!

    “ The King and Queen arrived at the Commonwealth Games in the TARDIS from Doctor Who”… why? Am sure the organising committee thought they were doing something brilliant with that “unique” idea, but for the casual commonwealth observer it’s just expensive nonsense. I’d prefer they saved a bit on the opening ceremony and used it as discounted or free tickets to kids who otherwise wouldn’t have the money to go see a world class event in their city and be inspired.

      8:19 hear hear! The best part of opening ceremonies is seeing the athletes parade in; everything else seems like overkill, and each next sporting event tries to outdo the last… and it’s gone to silly madness.

    A strange jumpsuit. The one who created this jumpsuit for her took one of her go to dresses as an example but instead of making a dress he put pieces of fabric halfway to the hem and attached it to make a pair of pants. I don't like her style of dresses, but I prefer them to this weird jumpsuit. Q. Camilla please put this jumpsuit as quick as possible in the recycle bin. Maybe someone can make a dress out of it.

      Do you think she is listening to you? I am sure she does not :-) . I like the garment on her. And it is definitely a jumpsuit (rewear): https://www.newmyroyals.com/2023/06/queen-camilla-attended-reception-at.html

      Just because you don’t like her style of dresses or this jumpsuit, it doesn’t logically follow that she must put it in the recycle bin!?! We must assume that she likes it which is why she wore it and allow her to keep it if she wants. You don’t have to wear it and I probably wouldn’t, but I think it suits her and her preferred styling very well and looks to be a comfortable outdoors evening solution .
