My heart went out to Camilla

No-one likes to look at an unflattering photo of themselves so why should anyone think that Camilla won't be bothered? It is a cruel photo to put on the front page of a newspaper. What is it meant to achieve?

Im sure I would look a lot worse than this in a strong wind. I lke Camilla (although I didnt always) and think she does a good job. The poor woman is fronting the entire RF while her husband gets on with his cancer treatment,

I agree with biglouis that, in the absence of other royals to photograph, Camilla will automatically be plastered over the newspapers. It's just a shame they chose to print the most unflattering shots of her visit. I'm sure Kate had a couple of front page photos with her skirt lifting in the wind. It's just silly.

Don’t worry Parsley I m sure she will have a laugh herself 99% of her pictures are lovely so I m sure she will just think Silly sods putting that on their front page I doubt she ll lose any sleep She’s down to earth I don’t think she seems like a social butterfly or a person who would worry if she was caught out in her pjs
She’s done a wonderful job that she was never trained for she’s kept up all the appointments whilst her husband is out of action or only partially in action and I think she’s well liked by most and I think her husband adores her, shes a brick

I agree!

At least she doesn't look like a serial killer like I do in my passport photo.

She's a trooper!

Of course it won't bother her. She'll have seen worse.

And our lovely late Queen did smoke. But very rarely and in private. I know this due to the fact a boyfriend from my youth was in the RGJ and on occasion was present at meals.

A cigarette would be placed on a small dish on the table.

Do we believe him? Your choice. But it's a very odd think to lie about!

I agree!

She has got lovely thick hair and that sort of hair can cope with the wind. Whereas my fine locks look horrendous in a breeze, let alone a gale. I think she looks just fine! She is smiling and looks happy, so good for her.

I recently had a selfie with my 19yr old GD, after we had been to the hairdressers together. Never again. Talk about Beauty and the Beast.

Apparently, the King loves her soft blonde hair. She may have got the man she wanted but I doubt she ever wanted to be Queen.

When my hair blows about I look like a dandelion clock.

A good friend has been to a charity lunch held by Camilla and was prepared not to like her. But said she was absolutely lovely. Welcoming, warm, knowledgeable, interested in all her guests and had beautiful skin and hair.

I expect the Daily Mail is gnashing its teeth that they didnt get this shot. And they would have titled it with some faux sympathetic tosh. I doubt if she gives a toss. Enjoying heŕ weekend I hope and lining the budgie cage with the paper.

I really couldn’t care less!

Callous, maybe. I’m glad she’s good for our King, but I cannot forget the heartbreak and humiliation she and Charles put both their spouses and their children through.

Sorry but that’s just how I feel!

It sells papers!

Someone asked: Why is it nearly always women who come in for this kind of flack? re a comment about cellulose on the backs of Princess Diana's legs.

There is a simple answer to this I think: females have always been judged on appearance and always will be. Men are too but it's for different reasons. For women it's about physical beauty (symmetry of form, hip to waist ratio (important for childbearing) etc) which is closely related, some people argue, to genetic success. For men it's more about strength, again for obvious reasons when you think about the trajectory of human progress.

I don't believe most people don't know this in their bones. And besides, look at the comments in the OP bemoaning why it was a mean photo to publish noticing all the things she thought were "faults" instead of taking the picture as a whole of a healthy, strong woman with a bit of wind in her hair.

I still think she looks great in it. 🪖

Boz I have just had a video link with my beautiful daughter. Oh dear that little screen of me. and I haven't been in the wind!

Never pose with your young beautiful GC. So depressing!

I just had to laugh when I saw it! Not in a mean way (lack of sisterhood) but it was just so funny. I bet Camilla has bigger fish to fry right now rather than being upset she’s got an unflattering pic of herself in the newspapers. She strikes me as a confident, capable woman happy in her own skin. I rather like her. Bet she’s fun to socialise with. She calms her irascible husband when he gets tetchy. Well done that woman!

Poor woman no one likes photos like that.
Sure she'll shrug it off, no worries.
She had a life, she's not had daily pampering.

All she has endured for years I doubt this photograph will cause her upset

She looks strong, capable, and healthy to me.
So the wind blew her hair...

Good to see the Daily Mail getting it in the neck even though they didn’t publish the photo. 😂

Hang on in there, HelterSkelter!

Cossy you don’t have to be sorry but Diane was no angel and had affairs She was put on a pedestal by many but she was nt all innocent

That's exactly why I liked Diana.
Because she had flaws,and up until that time it wouldn't have been ever openly discussed.
