Its five strands of diamonds covered her decolletage and made the Queen's jewels look quite modest as they attended the Queen's banquet for the Commonwealth Heads of Government in Kampala, Uganda, on Friday.

But Camilla didn't deliberately set out to overshadow her mother-in-law - the Queen gave her permission to borrow it from the royal collection.

Camilla's favourite couturier, Anna Valentine, designed her a simple duck-egg blue dress and matching stole to set off the necklace, estimated to be worth tens of millions of dollars.

The Duchess added the Queen Mother's Boucheron tiara, a set of diamond earrings and the Queen Elizabeth II Family Order, given to female members of the royal family.

Would you have sat back while your husband carried on with some married woman for years? Dianna didn’t start the marriage with a slut on the side like Charles did. I’m not saying Dianna was blameless, but she didn’t begin the side show that their marriage became. Charles did.

The comments here are revealing. Clearly Freeper men care only about looks and not the quality of the person. No wonder so many of them will be all alone tonight posting on the Lonely Hearts thread.

Flame away. I’m wearing my asbestos bikini.

And your point is...

LOL!

Looking at this photo I’ve finally come to realize that Charles must be out of his cotton-picking mind.

Don’t think I’ve ever really had any great doubt of that.

Who knows the real reason didn’t marry. Charles hasn’t exactly followed his parents game plan. Keeping the “lines pure” has certainly caused a lot of people grief.

And what is that red thing tied around her arm/wrist?

Probably a reminder for her to change her Depends.

Comments about her personal appearance aside (the poor woman can’t help it), that was a very poor choice of jewelry. It’s too big, too gaudy, too cheap looking. Sometimes the bigger the diamond the more “dime store” it looks.

"I take it all the men commenting here look like Antonio Banderas dressed by Giorgio Armani."

Of Course!!! But in all seriousness, learn you best side and best smile and then present it to the camera. Unless of course you just do not give a damn. I always give points to both sexes who make and honest attempt to put their best foot forward.

Like I told a stripper who had very ugly breasts once. "you my think I am an ugly old guy, but I am not asking people to pay me for looking at me!" But in the end she won; I gave her money to go away.

Also, I will not wear a suit any more so the Armani's sit in the closet - I did my suit time in the 80's and 90's.

They committed adultery. Nothing to admire there.

Good point, most of us do wear the face we’ve earned. Some of us more than others... :-)

She’s certainly reached the “indelicate age” of responsibility!

I showed her this one of Princess Diana, and she says, "Who would want to break up with a princess and marry THAT?!"

If you've never been married to a psychobit*h, you will never get it.

Good for Charles, I say!

Yes, Camilla was waaaaay better than Diana, because an adulterous woman is sooooo much more superior than one with bulemia. /sarc

Still don't understand Charles ditching Di. [shrugs]
