Here are some photos of Queen Camilla on Tuesday, hosting an event at Buckingham Palace. The event was for International Women’s Day, which was last week but Camilla was on vacation then, so better late than never. Camilla is President of Women of the World, so this was some kind of reception for WOW, to mark the end of the WOW Girls Festival Bus Tour. Camilla was presented with a Barbie doll in her image, dressed up in a miniature version of the outfit Camilla wore to this event. Good staff work, honestly. Camilla was absolutely delighted with her Barbie, and it’s a reminder that both Camilla and Charles are often visibly delighted with the simplest things – a doll, a cake, dogs, balloons. It’s one of their cutest habits.
I’m also including some new photos of Camilla today, Wednesday, as she attended the Cheltenham Festival, which is some kind of big horserace on the calendar. Princess Eugenie and Zara Tindall were also there, but obviously King Charles was not. Camilla got to wear a special brooch from the Royal Collection – a diamond horseshoe.
So, Camilla has been back at work every day this week – the Commonwealth service on Monday, the WOW event on Tuesday, and Cheltenham today. She apparently had a restful holiday last week and she’s back and being seen. Unlike you-know-who. Speaking of, it’s absolutely remarkable to watch as Charles and Camilla have completely and utterly removed themselves from Prince William and Kate’s Mother’s Day fiasco. The king and queen are not offering the Waleses any lifelines or help. That being said, it’s also notable that Buckingham Palace courtiers have not been sent out to add fuel to the fire. Charles and Cam are just sitting back and watching everything unfold. Fascinating.

- Queen Camilla was honoured with her very own Barbie doll at a celebratory reception hosted at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday (12March2024). The event marked the finale of the Women of the World Foundation’s WOW Girls Festival Bus Tour following International Women’s Day (8 March). To celebrate Queen Camilla’s role as President of The WOW Foundation and the work of the foundation in empowering girls and women, Barbie created a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll in The Queen’s likeness, complete with a WOW badge. The doll was presented to The Queen at the reception – which was also attended by Dame Helen Mirren, who was herself the recipient of a special Barbie last week. “Since 1959, Barbie’s purpose has been to show girls they have choices,” said Krista Berger, Senior Vice President of Barbie and Global Head of Dolls of Mattel. “In a momentous 65th anniversary year for Barbie, we are proud to be working with incredible global partners, including Women of the World Foundation, to inspire a broader movement that reshapes how society perceives and supports girls’ dreams. Today, we are honoured to celebrate Her Majesty, The Queen, and the WOW Foundation’s commitment to empowering girls.” Before her death in September 2022, the late Queen Elizabeth II was also honoured with a Barbie doll – although she did not accept one personally. The doll is dressed in an ensemble inspired by the current Queen’s wardrobe, with Barbie expressing gratitude to various fashion designers, including Fiona Clare for the cobalt blue dress from Her Majesty’s Coronation portrait, Amanda Wakeley for the black cape, Eliot Zed for the black heels, Launer for the black handbag, The WOW Foundation for the WOW badge, and Van Cleef & Arpels for the bracelet. The WOW Girls Festival is supported by partner organisations, brands and firms, including WOW UK Girls Champion Barbie.

That doll looks like Jennifer Lawrence in a wig, LOL
Nice! I’m seeing more January Jones in Madmen. Definitely not Mutley.
The doll reminds me of diana
This is kinda cute, but can be viewed as an indirect troll of the KMid situation, no? “Here I am in the flesh, holding a facsimile of me, wink, wink!”
I had a Barbie of Camilla way back when – it was the horse my regular Cowboy Barbie rode on. I just never made the connection.
I’ll believe that’s a Camilla Barbie when I see the glass of gin attached to that Barbie’s hand. I don’t buy it at all. That Barbie is way too pretty and looks like Helen Mirren or even Cate Blanchett, not Camilla.
The glass of gin is in the separate accessories package, along with all the royal jewels.
Well she’s definitely been holding Chuck’s Royal Jewels for quite a while.
They could probably add a phone seeing she has all of her reporters on speed dial.
@my3cents I just snorted out loud on a busy train. Great work!
Lol Eurydice and My3Cents! Maybe they can add a bedazzled t-shirt that says Jeremy’s girl on it…
It needs some wrinkles to resemble Cam.
Right? She didn’t look like that 40 years ago!
Shots fired!
They really are leaving them out to dry. They don’t even *need* to fan it… it’s a-blazin’ on its own!
Yes, they are. It’s really odd and very bad. I remember thinking, where’s Charles, where’s the Queen, when Harry and Meghan were day by day attacked; why aren’t they defending them and telling the press to back off. And now they’re doing the exact same hands-off with K&W. Maybe they know it’s all over; why try pulling a sunken ship to dry land. Camilla certainly has that look of enjoying herself and not giving a ****. On which note, I love that blue on her!
Yup. they’re not doing a damn thing to help William here as far as we can tell. I think they really are saying, you broke it, you fix it.
Perhaps incorrectly, I’m also reading this as pointed toward William. They are either leaving K alone, or they’re allowing W to destroy her all by himself without their help.
I don’t know, Camilla still has many friends in the media. How do we know she’s not asking them to be more insistent when they write about this PR disaster ?
Umm, excuse me…(clearing throat) no resemblance whatsoever. The Barbie doll looks more like Lady Diana than Queen Camilla.
I think that’s what Crocmilla has always secretly wanted, to be Diana.
Omg. You’re right.
If there were real journalists in rota, they would ask her how / where Kate is.
Yeh why are they saying Meghan should speak out, when William, Camilla, Carole, Pippa, and Charles are silent?
When your opponent is torching himself, you don’t need to add any wood to the fire. The strategic move is to sit back and watch him burn.
Exactly this.
I think Camilla even had the good grace to comment that the Barbie was so much younger than she is. She is having the time of her life watch KP burn themselves to the ground + Crown Jewels.
That looks nothing like her. She is Horsilla not Barbie so they got it wrong. They need to give her an old nag horse doll for it to resemble her.
So now we have Sidepiece Barbie. Great.
That is the best comment imo!!! I’m laughing.
The doll’s stylist did a better job (especially with the hair) than whoever helped Camilla get dressed.
Think it’s great PR for all involved, esp. the similar outfits. How accurate is the Lady Macbeth Barbie though? Does it come with dandruff, a pack of cigs, and gin/tonic cocktail? And are the Kens going to be Piers Morgan and Jeremy Clarkson? Just wondering.
I’m guessing BP ordered the Barbie so Camilla could be presented with it as a “surprise”.
The Cheltenham Festival is a very popular horse racing festival. It always coincides with St Patrick’s Day and lots of Irish people travel to UK for it. That’s why Camilla is in green. In 2020 Boris Johnson’s government refused to cancel the festival in spite of Covid leading to a huge number of people being infected unnecessarily.
Crocmilla living her best life! People keep talking about Meghan practicing voodoo, I think Camilla is the real witch. The way she has taken down Keen and Baldemort is impressive. Skip Camilla for Kate indeed! Lol!
The rest week at the spa did not relax her face at all. Maybe she should try for a year to see if that helps. She certainly does look delighted with herself these days.
Can someone explain to me what the black thing is that Camilla is wearing? It seems to have zips or are they just decoration? I can’t figure out exactly what it is and how you wear it.
Capelet?
Does Camilla Barbie come with her own tampon? Asking for a friend.
