Last three letters contd - 2026
I watched The Trooping of the Colour yesterday, and was surprised to see how furious Queen Camilla looked. Used to seeing her smiling and happy, I was concerned about her.
Maybe she isn’t well, maybe she and the king had a disagreement? Whatever the reason, she is a public figure and needs to keep her feelings private. In all the years she was our Queen, the only time I ever saw Queen Elizabeth looking less than composed and happy was in 1952. She was told her beloved father had died and there was a photo of her with a single tear rolling down her cheek.
Camilla needs to follow her example.

I found the Princess of Wales' support for Reform rather odd.
What!!! Dear me, how people can make something out of nothing never ceases to amaze me.
Exactly, like Camilla bring furious. Both suggestions utter tosh!
It defies belief sometimes the rubbish that people post 🤦🏼♀️
They all looked fine to me. Right at the end Charles looked a bit tired but he’s a few years older than me so it’s natural. Camilla looked fine to me. I think some people are projecting!
Louis was on his best behaviour though he and George had a little giggle together at one point.
At least the trooping of the colour was much more successful than Trump’s military parade disaster. What was he thinking?
After reading some of these comments, I have just rewatched the balcony scene.
I think I was watching a different TTC to some GN’ers.
Certainly didn’t think Charles looked frail or ill, and Camilla, to me, didn’t look distracted or miserable.
They both looked to enjoy the fly past, happy to see the GC engaged with it all, and didn’t look to dash back in at the end.
And he didn’t look to be tearful either.

The dog was furious, too, when he visited today.
He was so cross he didn't speak to me until I promised not to go on Gransnet again.
Ps don't tell him!

He is an emotional man.
I expect world events have upset him, if he did look upset.
However, I didn't see it so can't express an opinion on Trooping the Colour.
I agree calandergirl I ve googled it and didn’t think Charles looked sad or frail or Camilla cross I thought they all looked fine Charles was talking to Camilla a lot on the balcony
Just all looked normal for their age and health problems

Although I'm not a royalist.
I do rather like Camilla. I think that the camera simply caught her at the wrong moment. I know I've got some truly terrible photos where I've been snapped unexpectedly & I look like an angry, ratty shrew! Which quite frankly is not very far from the truth. 🥴
Me too, Ilovedogs22. When I frown, I'm more likely to be concentrating and thinking hard.
I've got this "thinking" line.
Poor Camilla, not allowed a normal human expression, that's asking too much.
I know what you mean but I think she just has one of those faces. I’m often told to “cheer up it may never happen “, it’s very waring.
I think Camilla was trying to hold onto her hat which was in danger of being blown off. The kids looked like they’d stepped out of the 1950s and Kate looked like Joan Collins from the 80s. The whole thing is an anachronism.

Agree about the hat, but nothing else.
IMHO, the children looked exactly like I would expect to see the grandchildren of the Monarch dressed when they were attending a major, traditional Royal event.
Smart suits, shirts, ties for the boys. A simple but nonetheless beautiful dress and shoes for Charlotte, immaculate hair.
What do you think she should have worn? A mini skirt, crop top and Doc Martens?
We see them in jeans, shorts, teeshirts, trainers …when they are at a casual event or playing at home.
As for Catherine…elegant as always, many comments have likened what she wore to a similar outfit worn by Diana at a past trooping the colour.
Timeless, not dated.
Spot on.
“Timeless” - no such thing in fashion terms. Even the RF move on , albeit slowly, look at what Queen Victoria’s children wore and the RF in the 20s. Not the same. The current crop have got stuck in the 50s. The P o W is an attractive women no doubt, but the formal stuff looks like it was borrowed from the set of Dynasty.
I painted my garden fence yesterday. I thought it was blue but now it's dried it's turquoise!!
Luckily it's my back garden and no one can see it...

I agree.
Like I said earlier on, I don't to think Camilla looked furious just bothered. Something was bothering her, we've all been there.
I watched the whole thing avidly and honestly didn't notice any of the things mentioned above. I just thought it was wonderful.
But that's me. I'd never make a good detective

Her feet? New shoes?

I agree.
As for remarks about the colour, well, I was (almost!) speechless!

I'm laughing because that must have been meant as a joke!

Will Camilla like it if she visits?😁

Both?
Tbf the late Queen often looked cross at events but hard to hold a smile for a long time anyway.

Got to say I agree vegansrock except I think Joan Collins would have had big shoulder pads 🤣🤣🤣
Don’t mind any of them but resent the money they all get when the country is sinking Buck palace could house the whole of londons homeless I would think… now that’s an idea wouldn’t I respect them if they gave up some wealth to help the country or the world yes I would
when the country is sinking
😂😂😂
Really? There may be people struggling and we need to find out why and help but the country is not struggling, nor are most people.
Republicans will always cite the Royal Family as draining the country's which is simply not true.
I was puzzled by this thread as I hadn’t picked up on anything untoward when I watched some of the event on tv yesterday.
However, since stumbling across this footage on YouTube this morning I wonder if this might have contributed to Camilla’s apparent discomfort.
This clip is 10 minutes long and is of constant loud heckling and abuse from the not my King protestors. Several of the horses ahead of the royal carriages were spooked . They are in close proximity to Charles and Camilla’s carriage as it passes and their loud jeering is impossible to avoid. Closely followed by the carriage with Catherine and the 3 children who were subjected to the same jeering. It’s very uncomfortable viewing especially to see the children exposed to it.

Maybe she's having menopausal problems and desperately needed the loo or/and a sit down.
Might be tensions about Hairy and Migraine or randy Andy.
Whatever, what's important is that she attended and looked gorgeous!
