Queen Elizabeth Told King Charles She "Did Warn" Camilla About One Wedding Day "Oopsie"

King Charles linking arms with Queen Camilla, holding on to her hat on her wedding day, with Queen Elizabeth standing behind her.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will celebrate their 21st wedding anniversary on April 9, and ahead of their big day, some hilarious comments have resurfaced. As a second-time bride at age 57, Camilla opted not to wear a traditional white gown for their church ceremony at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, instead choosing an elegant blue and gold coat dress by Anna Valentine. But one part of the future Queen’s wedding day outfit didn’t agree with the British weather—and Queen Elizabeth was right all along.

Instead of a tiara, Camilla chose hats by royal-favorite milliner Philip Treacy for both her civil ceremony and religious blessing. After wearing a wide-brimmed white hat for the first service, the future Queen changed into a more formal headpiece crafted from a spray of feathers. But the couple got married on an especially windy day, causing Camilla to quite literally hold on to her hat as the Royal Family gathered outside the chapel.
