Queen Camilla has channelled Claudia Winkleman's The Traitors style with a gorgeous tartan skirt and statement camel coat in Swindon.
With the UK’s winter weather showing no sign of warming up anytime soon our best puffer jackets and boots are still getting plenty of wear. Many of us have our favourite go-to coat for cold days and Queen Camilla’s Christmas Day camel coat is still getting plenty of wear. She brought it out once again on 22nd January and this paired with Queen Camilla’s tartan skirt was a cosy combination reminiscent of Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits.
For her second day of royal engagements of 2024, Queen Camilla visited Deacon & Son Jewellers in Swindon as they celebrated 175 years of trading. She also marked the 50th anniversary of the Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service and visited a women's refuge where she met members of staff, volunteers and families. Stepping out on this important day, Her Majesty wore a stunning tartan skirt that brought a fun pop of colour to her outfit along with her go-to Dressage boots by Russell & Bromley.
