I agree with Rothermere's hearty applause and 20 gun salute for Carla Bruni-Sarkosy!

Carla is the French Princess Diana and showed such poise, elegance and chic combined with gentle feminine charm.

Carla Bruni looks kind, compassionate and yet has a naughty twinkle in her eye.

The contrast with our rough Camilla sporting a British lump of a hat in tarty leopard with the inevitable feathers slammed in there as Camilla always must be well -feathered, was very stark.


The Queen and Carla Bruni-Sarkosy were a perfect match of what Queen's, Princesses and First Ladies are all about.

Camilla was dressed to fit her reputation.

Carla Bruni was dressed as a First Lady or Princess, as Princess Diana always was and as Jackie Kennedy always was.

What a difference and how refreshing!

The French should be very, very proud indeed.
