The coat that Camilla wore on Saturday was presented to Prince Charles several years ago it is a traditional Saudi Dalqah

That’s great and she looked good in it ?

Well done Camilla! Recycling at its best!

Germanshepherdsmum Tue 07-Jun-22 13:25:34

I agree. I thought it was beautiful.

LauraNorderr Tue 07-Jun-22 13:27:04

She looks better in it than her husband did. Very glamorous.
I’m sure the country that gave the gift would be proud to see it worn for such an auspicious occasion.

LauraNorderr Tue 07-Jun-22 13:28:33

Just had a peek in Orlin’s wardrobe, nothing I could wear there believe me.

It's a beautiful dressing gown. Waste not want not.

Looks lovely, very appropriate, I bet it kept her warm.
I’m not usually a fan of her dress sense, a bit too much like the Queen Mother.

It may not be the same one - if so, it’s been altered, check out the sleeve pattern.

I don't think it is the same one. I would love a gown like that. Wouldn't feel embarrassed opening the door as I do if wearing my big fluffy one.

If it is his, all I can say is that she looks better in it!
Anybody rember the Van Heusen shirt ad? ("Looks even better on a man" )

She goes up in my estimations every time I hear about her

I thought that evening, how much I liked her coat - so sensible for the night air. She wore trousers underneath.

Calendargirl Tue 07-Jun-22 15:54:58

I thought Camilla looked great that night. Coat, trousers, hair, make up, everything.

A huge support to Charles in every way.

I wear my husband's coat all the time.

rafichagran Tue 07-Jun-22 19:58:36

Good for her.

BlueSky Tue 07-Jun-22 20:19:33

It does look good on Camilla.
He must have felt a right Charlie in it! grin

sodapop Tue 07-Jun-22 20:38:10

I thought Camilla looked lovely in that outfit as well, that style really suits her.

TillyTrotter Tue 07-Jun-22 20:44:48

Good detective work GrannyGravy ?
It looked fitting for eveningwear and as others have said, it kept Camilla warm.

Laura you actually looked in Orlin’s wardrobe? I don’t need to look in DH’s. It is full of Under Armour golf shirts!

Mogsmaw Tue 07-Jun-22 21:33:13

Dh bought himself a new jacket this week, it was too tight. I tried it on and it was a fabulous weight and a lovely, flattering colour. I just had to roll the sleeves up.
I said if he couldn’t return it I’d have it. Unfortunately he could return it but…. I’d certainly have had it .

Exactly what I did when I nicked one of my husband’s jackets.

GrammaH Wed 08-Jun-22 11:26:13

I thought how gorgeous it looked and how much it suited her. Wish GraffaC had one like it!

Aepgirl Wed 08-Jun-22 12:28:42

Didn’t she look I. It? What a fantastic thing to do. Charles was never going to wear it again and it’s good to see some of their clothes being upcycled.

Namsnanny Wed 08-Jun-22 12:35:18

Yes she did look nice. Good for her, or her dresser.
I take it the royals have too many outfits to keep track of themselves. Along with the long term planning that has to be done someone was on the ball.

Sgilley Wed 08-Jun-22 13:09:45

Thought she looked great in it. Saudi visitors would have been pleased.
