Tour of Wesminster Abbey

Queen Camilla was there to welcome them to Buckingham Palace. There was a lunch and a tour of a Exhibtion. The Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and also the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh were in attendance.

I think I spotted the Duke of Kent at BP also, unless I'm mistaken.

All three senior royal ladies, Queen Camilla, The Princess Royal and The Duchess of Edinburgh are wearing two Family Orders. The late Queen's and the King's.

The Duchess of Gloucester was also wearing the two Family Orders. I'm sure if the Princess of Wales had been there we would have seen her wearing the two as well.

I quite agree that Catherine would have her CIII by now.

I do hope the other "working" royal lady, Princess Alexandra, received the CIII as well. Perhaps the Duchess of Kent got one but we are not likely to ever know one way or the other.

Full bling! Yay! I love Sophie's gown. Anne's wearing a tried and true dress. I love Camilla's dress, but I'm trying to figure out why she's got her neckline askew. She knows how to wear Orders.

It’s not just the neckline. The dress seams appear on the diagonal, and of course princess seams should run straight down the bodice of the gown..

Yes, the seams are pulling a little, too. Either the dress is too small or something's been fastened incorrectly. Too bad because Camilla looks good in that cut and color.

It looks like the Orders are too heavy for the material and pulled the neckline askew or when the Orders were fastened to the sash the person applying them may have inadvertently applied them while pulling the neckline and didn't catch the error.

The Duchess of Gloucester is my favorite Royal lady. Love the bling.

The neckline, bodice and sleeve are all pulled to the left. Almost like she got dressed in a hurry and didn't have time to straighten out before stepping out. I don't get it. Camilla usually is put together.

The Queen really brought out the sparklers this evening. She looked beautiful. I hope she is feeling much better.

The Kokoshnik really suits her.
