She's apparently doing some revamping according to the Daily Mail: "She has turned to the designers of her wedding dress, Robinson Valentine, and asked them to create an entirely new wardrobe in keeping with her position as Charles's wife. She has ordered 65 dresses to be worn over the next year, including 12 "special" dresses for the run-up to the Christmas period. Her specific requirements include evening gowns with "room at the neck for jewels". The designers have included a lot of "velvets with twists", day dresses and cocktail dresses cut to the knees or mid-calf – along with her bust, the Duchess considers her legs to be one of her best assets....Although she will make full use of her new wardrobe in private, each dress is normally to be worn only once in public. Once an obscure designer label, Robinson Valentine – now called Anna Valentine after the eponymous designer bought out her partner Antonia Robinson last year – has now become one of the world's most influential fashion houses, thanks to Camilla's patronage. In turn, Anna Valentine has become Camilla's most trusted fashion guru, refining her style and bestowing her with an elegance she never before possessed. " ...Her striking appearance at the Queen's banquet in Kampala on Friday evening was a sign of how much thought has gone on behind the scenes into "packaging" her. Ms Valentine has created a sophisticated palette of pale blues and forest greens that complement Camilla's colouring and work perfectly in the equatorial heat. Fashion expert Karen Kay says: "Camilla is learning to find a regal status that is not about fashion but about creating an iconic image as the King's consort. "The important thing is that she is obviously comfortable. It's very easy to make over a woman, particularly at that age, but all too often they don't look at ease with the changes. "With Camilla that's clearly not the case. She's very clearly wearing the clothes – they are not wearing her." Yet, for all her new-found confidence, the rebrand wasn't Camilla's idea. Like the Queen, she has never taken a great interest in fashion. She may have dug out the family pearls and donned the silk taffeta frock for the season's hunt balls but she is, at heart, an archetypal aristocrat who prefers a sensible wardrobe geared towards a rural lifestyle....."There were some pictures taken recently of her going to see her new grandchild. She was wearing cashmere and she was worried that she looked a bit like an old granny but on the whole she isn't too fussed.
