A simple pair of blue jeans is a classic wardrobe staple, and for good reason. They’re easy to style, go with almost anything, are comfortable, and can be both casual or dressy. Even royalty loves them, with everyone from Princess Catherine to Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, sporting them on several occasions. Before her husband became Britain’s monarch, Queen Camilla wore jeans all the time. As she told BBC Radio 5 Live, the casual pant style was her go-to lockdown look (via Town and Country): “I’ve been very, very happy with my jeans. It will be very hard to get out of them again. I think you get into a sort of way of life, don’t you?”
However, it’s unlikely we will catch Camilla wearing them again, at least in public. Since assuming her new role, the queen consort hasn’t been spotted in her old favorites, leading many to wonder if she’s ditched them for good. Queen Elizabeth II was never seen wearing jeans in her reign, so it’s not totally wild to assume that jeans are just deemed too casual for a person in her position to wear. Throughout history, kings and queens have always been immaculately turned out, so it makes sense that Camilla will opt to wear slightly more formal clothing in the future. Something tells us she might still slip on a sneaky pair when walking the dogs at home, though. Who could blame her?
