My heart went out to Camilla

He ?

I’m sure she or He will laugh this one off 🤣🤣

You know, I never used to like her. But now I do. I think she's doing well. But, I do wish she'd see a new hair stylist as that style went out with Dallas!

It’s just a photo, not the best, but we all have had bad photos. . I have had loads. I often don’t even recognise myself as that plain older woman, with the strange expression, who appears to be wearing my clothes.

Oh! I rather like that photo of Camilla. I think she looks great. Like a real person.

That’s exactly what I thought Baggs. She looks as if she is a normal woman who is not bothered by what the wind can do to her hair. Also not bothered to show her age. Good for her.

After seeing that image of Camilla you have to ask yourself why he chose her over the beautiful Diana.

Maybe because, as they say, beauty is only skin deep?

On its own, it might not be enough for an intelligent man?

The guide at some palace or other (I'm no royalist) said that Camilla is lovely, does a lot of charitable things quietly, and insists on doing them herself, rather than being just a name on some headed paper.

My DGD said Camilla was lovely. Interested and knowledgeable about what my DGD had achieved.

I found Camilla to be kind and very friendly

I actually think she looks a lot better in this photo than her usual rather stiff, hard appearance. I do not think she is very nice at all. And my son who has worked close to the Royals says Charles is a gentleman but Camilla is rude and dismissive.

People love who they love.
Looks have very little to do with it, thankfully, or some us would never have been loved.

so very true

Even Diana would have aged. She would now be almost 30 years older than when she died, a 63 year old grandmother of 5. Also she and Charles had nothing in common and he just didn't love her the way he loved Camilla.

I'm not defending their behaviour, but bewilderment as to how he could prefer Camilla to Diana always sound a bit shallow.

That comment is gross

Make up artist

I don't agree with anything you say, I do not think it is makeup I think she is suntanned and the white patches is where her hair usually covers her skin, Her eyebrows are hers and not necessarily died nor tinted, she does not have OTT wrinkles certainly less than I have and I think she looks great. It is a fun photo of her and she will have a good laugh for sure.

Camilla wouldn't bat an eye at this photo. She strikes me as a no nonsense indivdual who has weathered enough storms to realise that this doesn't even qualify as an issue.
She always looks smart but I bet she can't wait to get into more comfortable clothes as soon as the public gaze has moved on.

Windy day. That’s all.

I think we are gradually becoming accustomed to faces that have had "work" done on them.
To see an older woman looking her actual age is becoming unusual.

I don'y think it was 'cruel' to publish this photo it was, as it would have been with anyone else on a windy day, showing a windswept hairdo. What I think awful are the wrinkles! Are they the result of her smoking? Surely not just her age - I am 89 and am nowhere near as wrinkled as that.

If she can cope with details of her adultery and transcripts of weird phone calls with the then Prince of Wales being printed and discussed in the media I imagine this will be water off a duck’s back

Well said!

^Are you a man Spencer2009?^

I wondered if he/she was a member of Diana’s family?

Ooh, well spotted *Calendargirl!!

An unfortunate photo , but I think that on a windy day it might be a good idea to have an ‘up do’ hairstyle of some sort - like Kate often does .

Obviously, in lots of these she is considerably younger than Camilla.
