The headgear, I mean.
Today at The Vatican.

First time I’ve seen this. It looks a bit Halloweenish, and crow like in this picture.

It probably looks better in reality.

Camilla looks great in her headgear usually.

I was thinking that too. October 31st come early ☺️.
It looks good actually.

I thought the same, Halloween bats in a row ready to take to the wing🤭🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

And what’s with the all black outfit?

Casdon Thu 23-Oct-25 19:35:30

It’s protocol, all ladies meeting the pope wear black.

Ilovepuffins Thu 23-Oct-25 19:42:15

It's certainly different but appropriate for the Queen.
She seems to be a lovely lady and I think she's doing a very good job.

Thank you for a smidgeon of common sense and , general knowledge and awareness of protocol in the face of uninformed mockery.

I don’t like it but usually Queen Camilla looks nice.
This looks oversized.

rafichagran Thu 23-Oct-25 19:50:32

I saw her on the news, the outfit looked very smart and was respectful for the occasion. She wore the veil out if respect fir the church.
I really like Camilla. She comes across as a lovely genuine person and the poster who called her a trollop should be ashamed. She loves Charles.
Let he without sin caste the first stone.

Wearing a hat or veil is customary but why black leaves seemed strange, do they observe Halloween at the Vatican

Deedaa Thu 23-Oct-25 19:58:30

I like it, but most of you would probably dislike my clothes.

charley68 Thu 23-Oct-25 20:31:41

I liked how the Queen looked. Lovely outfit, very elegant, and very suitable headwear to meet His Holiness.

I remember wearing a mantilla to go to mass when I was growing up. Women and girls did not need to wear hats or mantillas from my early teens about 55 years ago.

Will do - I stand corrected re the author - I wondered why it came with a capital T - Luddite that I am ☝️

Absolutely agree with you rafichagran no more to be said.

Esmay Thu 23-Oct-25 21:16:10

I don't like Camilla ,because she showed no respect for the late Diana .
Like her or not this latest creation is more appropriate for Hallowe'en .
Camilla just isn't stylish -
more a cosy old jodhpur person.
I hated the hat that she chose for her wedding -like something out of the henhouse.
Maybe that why the King loves her -she's not a clotheshorse .

I wore a mantilla to Mass when I was young. They were quite fashionable I remember.

I shouldn’t be surprised, but the nastiness of some of these comments is unbelievable. I do sincerely hope that loved ones of yours don’t experience similar vitriol from others that you are dishing out about Camilla.
The OP asked for comments about her headwear. Some of you have used it as an opportunity to be extremely unpleasant about Camilla herself. Says more about you, really.

I completely agree rafichagran.

It's a little too large but pretty

And what’s with the all black outfit?

Meeting the Pope.
It's protocol.

I've seen Camilla wearing better headwear and in not keen but perhaps it looked better in reality.

Who is the designer?

Allira Thu 23-Oct-25 22:20:43

Btw - Camilla's first husband is Catholic and so are her children, although she did not convert, but she will know the protocol.

LOUISA1523 Thu 23-Oct-25 22:22:05

Its probably not her best look but its ok.
I actually like Camilla 😊

Allira Thu 23-Oct-25 22:23:20

Mantilla designed by Philip Treacy.

RosieandherMaw Thu 23-Oct-25 22:28:11

Queen Camilla dressed in black, but some other royal women are permitted to wear white around the pope
The tradition known as "il privilegio del bianco," or "the privilege of the white," is extended to designated Catholic queens and princesses
She followed tradition with her black ensemble, wearing a silk dress by Fiona Clare and a mantilla by Philip Treacy. The look emulated some of Queen Elizabeth’s outfits for her audiences with the leader of the Catholic Church
