Queen Camilla recently garnered attention by wearing an outfit reminiscent of Princess Diana’s iconic 1980s look during the 80th Anniversary Commemorations of D-Day in Portsmouth on June 6. Camilla stood out in a pale pink coat dress with brown shoes and a matching hat, a departure from the traditional dark colors worn at such events. This choice may have been a tribute, coinciding with her, King Charles, and Prince William’s upcoming visit to Normandy, France.
Camilla’s outfit also has ties to France, previously worn during a state visit in September 2023. She accessorized with a four-strand pearl necklace with a diamond clasp. Much like the late Queen Elizabeth, Camilla’s vibrant attire ensured she remained visible in the crowd.
The striking resemblance of Camilla’s outfit to one Princess Diana wore in 1983 sparked a lively debate among fans. On Facebook, supporters passionately defended their favorites, with comments like, “Camilla definitely,” and “Diana, 100%.”
Both Camilla and Diana’s dresses were designed by Catherine Walker, known for creating many of Diana’s iconic looks. This fashion face-off highlights the lasting influence of both women’s styles in royal fashion history.
