    The lady in the soft pink dress is absolutely gorgeous. What a fantastic gown.

    Queen Camilla's white dress is beautiful, but as often the sleeves are much too wide. She should also not stand with her hands behind her back (photo N°3). This is really no attitude for a Queen.

      12:46 what’s the reasoning there? Always hard to tell in a microsecond that is a photo to know whether she’s standing with hands behind her back or eg just loosely brushing the back of her dress or what. I don’t see any problem here, for queen or anyone else??

      Maybe your judgement is a bit too categorical, we don't know how long she stood with her hands behind her back - photos capture moments. Besides, I don't quite see the problem with royal hands behind royal backs - or do you know any rule that prescribes how to hold your hands? - A lot of men put one hand or even both into their pockets while standing around and chatting with others - think of Frederik and yes, Charles does that too, pulling his pockets down.

    Q.Camilla looks cool and refined, love the diplomatic embroidery. The pink dress looks better from the back, in photos on other sites the material looks rather cheap and the bodice style does not suit the wearer imo!

      The pink dress lady looks stunning. I don’t see “cheap” but also having no idea of her financial position, would never use that word in describing a gown she’s probably very proud to wear.

    Camilla's dress is brilliant. A frock with a waistline belt in theory should not look right with her proportions, which is why we rarely her in such styles - but this dress breaks all the rules and still suits her exquisitely. This is the magic of haute couture design.
    I also love Camilla's gold accessories with this gown; they give the outfit a very modern feel. Lyra

    Ăź agree with Lyra, this dress is brilliantly designed for Camilla. And the "airy" , non-tight sleeves are, in my eyes, very much part of this design and not a faux pas.

    I love this Anna Valentine gown on Queen Camilla! It's simple, a perfect style for HM, and the embroidery is exquisite not to mention diplomatic. I do miss the dazzle of QEII with a tiara but understand that times have changed.
