Royal Blue! King Charles and Queen Camilla co-ordinate their outfits in teal and navy
The King and Queen looked regal in coordinated outfits as the sun shone down on them during their first joint engagement since this morning’s coronation.
King Charles, 74, and Queen Camilla, 75, beamed as they met adoring royal fans at Covent Garden, central London. They made several visits.
While the King was sharp in a navy blue suit, Queen Camilla sparkled in a teal blue coat dress with a chiffon scarf and pearl earrings.
Shaking hands with well-wishers who gathered to catch a glimpse of Their Majesties, the royal couple made the perfect team.
Today’s outing marks the couple’s first joint royal engagement since the eyes of the world were on them at Westminster Abbey on May 6 during the coronation.
While the grandeur of the occasion may have been seen on their faces at the time, with only a hint of nervousness visible on their faces, today the King and Queen looked relaxed as they resumed royal duties.
