If you choose to briefly forget about King Charles and Queen (Consort) Camilla’s overwhelming awfulness for a moment, you might actually enjoy these photos. Like, I really can’t stand either of them at this point, but even a bitter hag like me thought “wow, they looked kind of cute at this event.” On Wednesday, the king and queen attended the Sandringham Flower Show. They arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Charles wore a snazzy summer suit complete with a coordinated tie and pocket square, a cute boutonnière, two small brooches, a Panama hat and a pair of plastic-rimmed sunglasses. Imagine Tom Wolfe as a British king… I think it would have looked like this.
As for Camilla… I’ve admitted this before, but I like Camilla’s housedresses. That’s what they are, they’re old-school housedresses, like women used to wear in the 1950s. Simple silhouettes and material (cotton), usually a knee-length A-line, sometimes a half-shirtdress, with a built-in cloth belt. She has a lot of them in various florals and those housedresses are her preferred look for daywear. Wednesday’s housedress was from Fiona Clare and it was a custom look. She’s absolutely getting Fiona Clare and other designers to just make the same dress in different fabrics.
Page Six also noted that Camilla wore her Sole Bliss (orthopedic) heels, which she’s worn more than 80 times. She also accessorized with her favorite Van Cleef and Arpels Alhambra bracelet in blue, which retails for $4800. She has a lot of Alhambra pieces in all different colors, but that blue bracelet is one of her faves. She also wore a Kiki McDonough blue topaz pendant ($1,937) and carried a nude Bottega Veneta tote ($5,200).
I think C&C looked so happy because Kate wasn’t there, trying to steal their thunder…like she did at the Chelsea Flower Show. Where was Kate, btw? Isn’t the cover story that Kate and William are spending the summer in Norfolk? Shouldn’t they attend the Sandringham Flower Show too?

That dress photographs really well, in color and flattering fit. I’d totally wear it, and I’m 30 years younger than Camzilla.
Her hair reminds me of an Afghan hound’s…No offense to Afghan hounds. I get such revolting feelings when I see this duo of dastardly deeds. I’m still such a hardcore Diana Stan, I can’t help it. Just ugliness that keeps on giving.
Totally understand. I have to kind of dissociate to give her compliment.
Whenever I see the tiny floral print housedress on Camilla I’m always reminded of Hyacinth Bucket. Granted, the dresses are a different style–Camilla’s are more like the neighbor’s dresses–but that’s what I think of as quintessentially average Englishwoman’s dress. Blah. But I do like Camilla’s handbag game–Bottega Veneta & Chanel being her go-tos.
I guess I’m outing myself as having Bucket’s taste, lol 🙂 I think it’s what the dress is doing for her figure, which I need in my life!
I buy vintage Karen Millen on Vinted for £20-30. They are beautifully cut and even now I’m a much bigger size 14 they are very flattering and make my big tummy disappear like magic.
Side chick Consort.
Never forget what this horse teeth scrotum face did to Diana
Yeah. It is hard to swallow that we live in a world where this vicious couple is adored by so many.
What you said … for the coronation there was an online visitors book where you could write C&C a wedding message – I wrote “Not my Queen, not my King – remember Diana”. I’m sure the flunkies deleted it and C&C never saw it but it did feel deliciously satisfying pressing “send”!
The dress screams grandma’s Simplicity dress pattern cover pic to me. The woman in the dress is, imo, ‘overwhelming awfulness’ personified and I can’t get past that fact to admire anything about the cruel cow. He is, as always, just a spoiled, petulant child in a man’s body afaic. No time for either of these two and their privileged posturing.
I’m 52 and I’m gravitating to so many dresses like this for summer. And I haven’t worn florals and the like in years!
I can never get beyond how very damaging and evil these two are. I wish for them the harm they have created for others.
Same. Even a well dressed king is still a walking symbol of inequality.
@brassyrebel, yep and even those plastic sunglasses on Charlie are £360 as reported in the papers today, now I find that strange, because as a lot of you know I have sent letters to a certain paper “,you can look at your reflection in it 😉) and they didn’t print any of them, Sooo I wrote to the press complaints committee, then low and behold, today, they are pricing Charlie boys stuff, AND published a letter today, complaining about their up and coming up commonwealth, including Kate and Williams saying its disgusting that they are using tax payers money to fund their popularity trip! Makes me think, times just might be changing here
Their so called love caused destruction for years. He is a bad father and grandfather especially to the sussexes.
He really is. And he looks as if he indulges a bit too much in thee vino. I can’t stand either of them, to the point that when reading about them, my brain automatically blocks their titles, so all I read is “Charles and Camilla”! They should watch themselves, because I just might un—capitalise their names as well,,, 😂😂😂
Absolutely agree! All I can see is the bloody bodies these two leave in their wake
And the destruction that they continue to pile in to others that they supposedly “love”. I do believe that Charles does not know the true meaning of love except when it comes to Camilla. That’s it! That’s as far as he is capable of feeling and showing his love.
Why I come to the conclusion is that Charles only seems to be happy in the presence of his mistress turned wife. Though they do seem to be having fun at this event.
@whyforthelove, I’m worried they are trying to orchestrate at least one more
@bothsides there are tons of pictures of Charles having fun. Laughing it up with everyone. Camilla is just his drinking buddy so we see them chuckling more.
That’s a great dress, why is it that even with a more classic style she manages to look more modern than Kate? I hazard a guess that she knows how to dress for her figure so it automatically makes outfits look more up to date.
Charles’ outfit was also good! They both looked like they were having a (legitimately) great time.
In addition to fitting properly, most of what she wear looks comfortable. Kate (when she isn’t in sister wife prairie dresses) wears a lot of pieces that seem very stiff. I’d guess she has a lot of padding and other “structuring” going on to give her the appearance of butt/hips/boobs, but it looks unnatural and I would guess restricts her movement somewhat also.
Ok Horsilla in flowery livery. I’m sure they were happy that Can’t didn’t come to up stage them. Or has Horsilla nickered in her ear to don’t even think about it?
The dress is drab and dowdy. Nothing new. Camilla has outfits fitted to suit her figure.
I agree. The only plus to this dress is it helps disguise the fact that she ignorant of properly fitted bras.
Agreed. These dresses were considered dowdy when I was little in the 1970s; I cannot celebrate them now.
Shocked at how crepey Camilla’s skin is on her arms!
Her hairdo makes her look older. Charles wears similar sunglasses that Biden wore.
Lol, my thought was that Chuck was a Biden wannabe with those sunglasses.
Mine as well!
Dress isn’t bad, the wearer is horrible. I love these loose forgiving dresses lol. It doesn’t hide C’s nastiness though.
All these custom dresses and she still doesn’t seem to own a single decent fitting bra.
I know. It’s absolutely ridiculous that Ginzilla hasn’t had a bra properly fitted for herself! She ruins every bit of clothing that she wears. Even the QEII had a good fitting bra until she was mid- late ‘90’s. My gawd, it’s not that hard to do.
OMG yes! My $29 on sale bras are 5 times as hard working as whatever she is wearing.
My grandmother must have 50 dresses like this. But the print is nice, showing dark instead of too flowery. And Charles looks snappy and comfortable. I think the two could toddle along quietly as the UK’s Grandpa and Grandma…if there weren’t W&K and Andrew and the obsession with H&M…
Guess nobody is going to mention the crepe-skin when she was waving? As for the dress, meh, its her style and fitting but the pattern of that fabric reminds me of camo army fatigues.
Charlie looks good.
I noticed and then thought, well, we all age, we’ll all get there. I’m not going to look too closely at my arms.
Queen Consort Camilla looks crumpled and like she’s crumbling before our eyes.
Plus, whoever airbrushes/photoshops her doesn’t know what to do with her. She seems to look better without the face stuff. Unless they pull her face funny to make her tolerable.
I’ve followed Savile Row tailoring, and am shocked by how shabby Charles looks!
First, his suit is ill-pressed: note the pressed-in crease on his sleeves which should not be there. This, from the man with 4 valets??!!
His suit is baggy, and he looks frumpy; his tailor must be upset at how he is wearing his clothes these days. Prince Michael of Kent still manages to look elegant and crisp, but Charles looks like a sad elderly uncle.
They have destroyed the fabric of his suit jacket by their use of pressing it. I can’t believe with a staff of his size and competence that they would not have the proper schooling of suit finishing.
Right? He used to be known as a natty dresser, what with his custom-made Savile Row suits. But here, the fabric looks cheap; it hangs weirdly, which is made more noticeable by only buttoning the middle button on the jacket. It wrinkles, it sags, it was poorly pressed, and it’s a weird ugly color. There are better lighter hued summertime fabrics out there. Maybe he should try the Matlock seersucker! 😉
He looks like he’s wearing an old suit and he lost weight, the suit is hanging on him.
Charles’s suits always look slightly saggy to me, as though there is no body left to the fabric. Perhaps the legend that he wears his suits for decades is true. He does look spiffier than usual here, but he always looks old-fashioned to me.
I agree on the saggy fit point and a big yikes to the sleeve crease. These people have billions to spend on every kind of servant and yet they still struggle to find people who are competent at their jobs.
His posture used to be better. Note to self: work on posture as I age.
Does anyone besides me remember the flour sack prints? Only very large bags had the prints, commercial probably, and the empty bags were laundered and then made into housedresses. My grandmother knew someone who would pass the bags on to her. This dress brought back that memory.
I don’t remember such dresses, but I bet they were nice & soft! I love flour sack dishcloths; although these days, I realize they’re made specifically as dish cloths & didn’t start out life as a flour sack.
Awful people always look awful .
They make me feel sick just looking at them .
That about sums them up.
She knows her jewelry game. (Unlike Kate.)
She does and I actually like what she chose to wear today for jewelry. It’s not to over the top, it’s a perfect balance between the necklaces and bracelets. I too have a thing for bracelets though which are certainly not in money ballpark of hers. But I have some that my mother left to me which are gorgeous!!!
I really like the Alhambra collection. Nicolle Wallace on msnbc has a turquoise necklace she wears all the time. I just need to find an inexpensive copy!
Agree, although I thought the earrings were a little old-fashioned & formal for the necklaces & bracelets.
Charles has always been a snazzy dresser. Camzilla looks like a rumpled bed and her jewelry looks chaotic.
Mutton dressed up as lamb …
They’re pampered and coddled, but all I can see are two aging grifters.
As much as I dislike cams in particular, the comments about her crepey skin… that’s normal aging and we just don’t normalize it, and in fact rage against it, which is so damn hard on any woman. I wish I was comfortable enough in my body to wear whatever I wanted especially when I knew there would be photographs.
This echos my thoughts. We all get old & this is what happens to skin.
I literally want to be ill after seeing these pics. That is NO queen and never will be. She’s a lazy, crass booze-hound who causes ruination wherever she goes. Jesus she is hard on the eyes.
The house dresses are mostly awful. This one is less awful than usual. The print is a little better.
I agree that this style of dress suits Camilla but in no way is it like a house dress of old! Back in the day they were more like a cross between a zip-up or button-up bathrobe and a mumu (or sometimes just a straight-up mumu). This is more like a 70s button-up shirt dress or wrap dress style (worn outside of the house!). The print is also very 70s.
As many others have also said, her wickedness makes Cam seem extra unattractive, no matter what she wears.
Frumpy!
It occurs to me that I now know their “drunk face”. Chucks is easy to spot. Camilla can fool me but when she is really “gone” it is noticeable. I know they say she has been injured but that is drunk face not pill face. Her and chuck are wasted. Lol.
Ugly and cheap, both of them.
