Queen Camilla of the United Kingdom

I love the pale pink tunic Camilla is wearing in Egypt. I would love to wear something like that. I assume hers is pricey.

Edit: I see it is Anna Valentine, so very high end. I need one of those how to recreate the look for less articles.

You can place a customised order with a Pakistan designer. It’s pretty much a version of a shalwar kameez. It could be embroidered and stitched in less than $100, shipping costs from Pakistan to wherever you are I don’t know. You could either message someone like Maheen Khan through her Facebook page (she did a few of Kate’s kameezes during the Pakistan tour), or I can dm you the WhatsApp numbers of a couple of acquaintances who also take international orders as long as you’re able to take your measurements, and a close up pic so that fabric and embroidery can be seen.

Thank you, Ridha! So kind of you. I will check out Maheen Khan.

Does anyone know what the story is with Camilla supposedly telling everyone that Joe Biden farted in front of her at the summit? I was watching a Graham Norton ep of a few weeks ago and it was covered in his monologue (and he doesn’t tend to make jokes on things that aren’t established mainstream items), and then I searched and Seth Meyers joked about it too. Hadn’t heard or read anything about it at the time though. I do like Camilla but it strikes me as a bit mean not to have been more discreet about. And that’s just on a personal level. On a political and Royal protocol level doesn’t she have to be discreet about it?

This story is based on a single anonymous source who first reported it to the Daily Mail, and it's just been picked up from there. Doesn't seem very credible. Of course the palace isn't going to legitimize it with a comment...but let me tell you, if it had been Meghan Markle instead of Joe Biden supposedly breaking wind, we'd never hear the end of it about how the mean old bureaucracy wouldn't issue a strongly worded denial.

To be fair, I think if the fart story had involved Meghan, it wouldn't have been one article in the Daily Mail, it would have been a 3-week barrage of opinion pieces from every royal reporter about the international incident Meghan caused with her aversion to farts.

Also, to be fair, Camilla's building of a long-term cooperative relationship with the press no doubt helped minimize the story, whereas Meghan and Harry's hostility to the press and "unleash hell" response to everything would have made the story much bigger.

"It is said that the Duchess of Sussex is concerned that the farts contribute to global warming, an issue about which she cares deeply."

It was pretty big news for a couple of days when it came out. I guess it's not the kind of thing where you put out a denial statement.

The Daily Fail? The paper that hired Meghan "Don't you know who my dad IS?" McCain as a columnist? The story is most likely bullshit.

Well, I’m not royalty or anything, but I can attest that after a certain age, one’s farts don’t care who’s in the room or what room you’re in. They’re out! And anyone who makes a big deal out of it when they’re young are going to be in that same fartyboat one day.
