Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom

I don’t think she gave much away. Just that she was there, and then they got the call and they were off.

I haven’t read the article yet, but do you think Charles and Camilla appreciate her giving an interview about her time there? Maybe it was vetted by the Palace beforehand, though.

She works for NBC News, so she's going to report on what she saw. I think she's been very low key in sharing the experience. After all, she's another person who understands first hand the dynamic of being in a public family having to grieve a loss in public. She basically said kind things about both Charles and Camilla, and then said the plans were cancelled due to what happened.

On the day the Queen died, she was on site. Today went to her once to acknowledge she was there, and she said very little beyond that she'd had dinner with Charles and then been told the interview had to be cancelled. NBC could have exploited it and had her doing non stop cut-ins. They didn't.

In fact, one of the interviewers started joking that now she’ll get an interview with the Queen, instead of just the duchess. Just a bit light heartedly and she didn’t bite. I thought she handled it well.

I was impressed with how she talked about it. She was respectful but made it clear it was unexpected and wasn’t gossipy about it.

I love this for so many reasons!

Wore the Belgian Sapphire tiara to state dinner with Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa

I don't love this tiara. Too much negative space and in some of the closer pics, the underlying metal looks like it needs polishing.

I like it, but I see what you mean about it needing a good polish.

I like her dress, but yes, the tiara looks a bit musty, for lack of a better word.

Camilla's wearing the Belgian Sapphire Tiara with George VI sapphire set for the Diplomatic Reception.

Good pics of Catherine and Camilla.

The Belgian Sapphire tiara looks better here than when Camilla wore it at the state dinner. Maybe it was polished after all or the lighting is better. I'm surprised she wore the same tiara to two events so close together.
