Queen Camilla has once again borrowed her husband, King Charles's clothes for an outing!

On Thursday , May 8, the King and Queen joined Prince William and Kate Middleton at Horse Guards’ Parade for a concert, marking the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

For the joyous occasion, Queen Camilla raided the wardrobe of King Charles as she once again wore his traditional Saudi Arabian daglah.

Tailored to fit her frame, the robe has become a go-to piece in Queen Camilla’s wardrobe since her wedding to King Charles in 2005.
