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

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!

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 .

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.

A beautiful garment. She looked wonderful in it.

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

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

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.

Camilla always look good she chooses her outfits well

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.

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........................!

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.

Happysexagenarian Wed 08-Jun-22 13:12:17

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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!

Germanshepherdsmum Wed 08-Jun-22 09:36:39

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

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 .

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!

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

Good for her.

imaround Tue 07-Jun-22 16:02:23

I wear my husband's coat all the time.

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.

Whitewavemark2 Tue 07-Jun-22 15:05:30

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