Charles & Camilla in Paris

Mme Macron absolutely fabulous. Great outfits, great hair and great smile. Looks great for any age let alone 70!

But you’re also displaying a shallow attitude too (to use your own words, not mine) when you say that Camilla ‘looked fantastic in that dusky pink outfit’ Jaberwok!

Camilla looked fantastic in that dusky pink outfit, and Charles looked fine. Why some people have to make such unpleasant comments is beyond me. Its not a competition or a fashion parade, so why does what any of them is wearing matter so much? How you look and what you wear isn't the be all and end all of a successful tour. Conversations, attitude, common courtesy are all far more important than whose clothes are the most glamorous or fashionable, which is quite frankly unimportant and a shallow attitude.

Camilla looked like mother of the bride I thought, it was the colour. She was going to a wedding, Mme Macron was going to a business meeting. I liked the anchor buttons on Mme Macron’s suit jacket, very smart.

Yes, I agree, a bit too weddingy, though she does look nice. I do admire Mme Macron, always well dressed and groomed.

French chic versus British frump.
They both look as if they have been in the back of the wardrobe for "The wedding outfits", they've had in mothballs for the past ten years.
Really good ambassadors for Britain keeping abreast of what is happening in the world.

I suspect Madame Macron hasn't downed as many gins and smoked as many fags as Camilla, which isn't a criticism.
There are many older French women especially the petit
ones who watch their weight.

What an awful thing to say. What is it if it isn’t a criticism?

I think Brigitte Macron is very glamorous, and probably always has been. She has a good head of hair and a pretty face. I don’t think Camilla needs to compete with her - as long as she’s polite and appreciative, she’ll go down well with her hosts!

No it's not just you Buttonjugs.

Is it just me who can’t think of Charles as King Charles? And as for Camilla…. She doesn’t deserve to be called queen.

Yes, it is just you.

I have no problem thinking of Charles as King, and seeing as Camilla is his wife, then of course she is his Queen, as was Elizabeth (the Queen Mother), Mary, Alexandra…. of their respective spouses of course, not Charles!

I wonder grandtanteJE65 if you are getting confused with François Hollande?

The Macrons married on the 20th October 2007.

Aargh rogue apostrophe. 😮

The Macron's were married on 20th October 2007 in Le Touquet.

Not sure that the Macrons private life,then or now is any of our business. For certain it would have been very frowned upon here,but France views these matters differently and its not for us to condone or condemn.

Actually, no where in Europe do people dress stylishly any more if we are to go by the standards that pertained when we were young.

King Charles would do well to change his tailor - Saville Row must still have men who can make suits that fit their customers.

I can't find the pictures you are obviously all looking at, but on the ones I can find on YouTube Charles hair looks anything but long.

I am surprised to see you all referring to Mme Macron - as far as I know she and the president are not married, and I very much doubt if they have allowed themselves to be pressurized into marriage after living together openly for years as lots do these days, that she would have consented to use his surname, She has always struck me as extremely modern in her views.

Camilla doesn't need to try and hide her age and attempt to look younger than she is, she is married to a man who is the same age as she is, give a few months. I doubt she has any wish to constantly be watching her figure, exercising furiously in order to defy the passage of time and generally worrying about her appearance. Mdm Macron , however is married to a man who is 24 years her junior,which by any standards is a big age gap to try and overcome, and one that takes a disciplined regulated regime to stay looking good and young, which she does, in order not to look like her husbands mother. Camilla can dress how she pleases and feels comfortable,her husband does the same. I think that the King and Queen look just fine, both befitting their age. After all they're not Pop Stars, aging or otherwise and certainly not Kardashian celebrities.

Camilla had an affair too, but at least her lover wasn’t a schoolboy!

Frankly I don’t hold any respect for Madame Macron. A teacher who has an affair with and then marries her much younger student is not worthy of respect and in the UK would probably have been prosecuted, but certainly would have lost her job.

I thought Madame Macron looks haggard.

I agree.
Camilla is far more appropriately dressed and has looked fabulous during this trip.

I thought that Camilla looked like a birthday cake next to the stylish Mdm Macron. Why does someone with so much to choose from and so much help, look so matronly.

I couldn’t help wondering if Mme Macron was wearing a wig.

I often wondered that too!
What was the French opinion of her teacher/pupil romance with Emmanuel?

I thought both ladies looked amazing. Especially the navy blue dresses on the first evening.

Mme. Macron is trying to disguise her age. Camilla doesn’t care.
