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

Well she looked lovely in it. Good for her for making use of at least one of the probably unworn (maybe unwanted) gifts which they must receive so many of.

I was full of admiration for her coat. I suspect it might have been too long for her height-challenged husband. Ideal for her on a chilly evening.

Would it be appropriate to be worn by a female, if it is the same one albeit altered.

Good for her! I thought it looked really lovely on her. Bet she's had her eyes on it, ever since it was given to Prince Charles........................!

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

She did look good but I’m sure Charles wouldn’t have worried about looking a right Charlie in it. Just look at how many silly hats and headdresses he’s gleefully put on in the past.

I wondered that. I think it is the same one, altered, and wondered if a female wearing it would be considered a faux pas in Saudi.

Good for her waste not want not ,she looked stylish so if it’s borrowed from her husband -well done her I say

A beautiful garment. She looked wonderful in it.

Isn’t it good to read nice comments about her? I think she’s fitted into her role brilliantly and has been good for Charles.

I agree GSM

I think she always looks fabulous, I have seen several programmes where she has been interviewed about her various charity, she always appears to be fully on top of her brief .

Never thought the day would come, but I have to say I really like Camilla; she's a great support to Charles and an asset to the RF. I love her clothes, she always looks so well put together and of course she can wear a big hat without looking like a mushroom - something I greatly envy!
