Wasn’t she involved in some scandal recently trying to sell info on Andrew?
Prince Charles and Duchess of York arriving in a 1950 Rolls Royce Phantom IV.
Sure looks like Camilla is wearing white. QEII is wearing bright yellow.
BBC just said her outfit was champagne with blue embroidery. But I will still slap her for you if you wish.
Nice to hear as ABC painted Carol as a woman pushing her daughters toward the Royals. Frankly, also nice to hear that both boys adore Horseface Tampon once they saw how happy she made Charles. Queen arriving now looking radiant in yellow!
Here comes The Queen!! The crowd is going nuts!

Is she? Heard white or cream is a no no today.
Josephine Watson from Third here... LOL
Camilla upstaging the bride?
Reporting in. Watching on BBC since approx. 5 am.
She is one classy lady.
Camilla looks ok.
“Nice to hear as ABC painted Carol as a woman pushing her daughters toward the Royals.”
Fox News, too. Tacky to mention that.
The queen has a little blue grandma blanket over her legs in the car!
Luckily, Camilla’s hat covers half of her face.
Queen looks lovely.
QEII looks positively radiant.
MAD COW!
