I am not a fan of whatever that is holding her veil. It looks devilish! Not a good look when meeting with the Pope!

Camilla's headdress reminded me of her bridal look with the wheat curved over her head. Really, I'm a bit surprised that she didn't wear a tiara with the veil.

Camilla's veil and headdress look very bizarre. I think she was trying for something between a hat and a tiara and ended up with this mess.

Definitely not a fan of the head piece. It distracts attention from Camilla's outfit...all you can look at is the head piece and it's design. If the leaves or whatever they are were much, much smaller, it may not have been so bad. Not a good look for Queen Camilla. The dress and veil are fine.

...British nationals working in the Vatican, and Commonwealth Ambassadors to the Holy See. He also unveiled a plaque and watered an orange tree planted to mark The King and Queen’s visit.

The term we Catholics use is "seminarians".

Yesterday the King received the title Royal Confrater

The title symbolises spiritual fellowship. In return, the King made Pope Leo the Papal Confrater of St George's Chapel in Windsor.

The King and Queen headed outside the Papal Basilica and Abbey of St Paul's Outside the Walls, where they met school children from nearby St Paul’s School and members of the public and congregation.
