The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall were in Derbyshire today to attend the funeral of the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, a longtime friend of Prince Charles. Camilla wore her simple black straw hat with side bow for this event.
The current Duchess of Devonshire wore a large scale cloche style hat in black wool with an upturned brim on one side.

Both hats are very nice
Thanks, again, Jelsta. The Countess of Burlington looks to be wearing a Philip Treacy hat – both the Duchess of Cornwall and the Countess of Wessex have a similar style.
Ditto from me re Camilla, perhaps still feeling the loss of her brother. She was carrying a scarf featuring some rather sweet stylised elephants…..although we are meant to be talking about the hats!!! I quite liked the hat worn by the current Duchess of Devonshire, the mixture of floppy and upturned brim perhaps the attraction.
This must have been hard for Charles; from reading Debo’s books, she clearly adored him ( she called him ‘Friend’). Debo was quite a woman!
I thought he and Camilla looked marvellous, Camilla in particular looked lovely, I love her dress.
I agree with everything said by christinecarson and jamiemid regarding Camilla’s demeanor, apparel, and her support of Prince Charles. Camilla always dresses appropriately, not only for her age but also for the occasion. The outfit she wore today was a perfect example of dressing for the occasion.
I’ve never seen a veil worn like that of Lady Emma. It looks almost like a nun’s veil. Does anybody know something more about this, or am I just a fashion simpleton?
The hats of Lady Sophia and the two duchesses are great.
I think it is a plain black headscarf with a simple raincoat/overcoat on top!
I had the same impression of Lady Emma, with the plain coat, wrapped headgear, basic shoes and thick tights. I wondered if she was a nun, but an internet search indicates she is married (3rd), so it would appear not.
I believe Lady Emma has been married just once but her sister, Lady Sophia, has married three times.
Fine
Love this hat on Camilla. The outlook looks lovely and is very suitable for the occasion. I also like her selection of jewelry. Great job all around!
I agree.
Camilla looks truly lovely. That hat is a great style for her. She looks very pensive and dignified, very regal. I also liked the large picture hat on one of the Duke’s sisters. Camilla is doing a superb job. She dresses and acts appropriately, she supports her husband, and never overshadows him. I suspect that her sadness was mainly empathy for Charles, plus some sadness for a friend dying.
Well put! I agree with everything you wrote.
I so agree with everything you said, also this must be a reminder of Camilla’s brother, my heart goes out to both of them, Camilla looks so great in that hat(which I love) and she seems so sad as does Charles.
