Queen Elizabeth II's 'warning' to Queen Camilla on her wedding day to Charles 'revealed'
It was a very special day for King Charles and Queen Camilla in April of 2005
King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary on April 9 and to celebrate, we are looking back on their big day.
A very memorable moment included Queen Elizabeth II, according to an expert lip reader.
Queen Elizabeth II’s ‘warning’ to Queen Camilla on her wedding day
The couple celebrated their nuptials 35 years after they first met, following their two divorces. Their relationship was made public in 1999, and six years later, they tied the knot at Windsor.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, lip reading expert Nicola Hickling alleged that Queen Camilla expressed some regrets on her big day with King Charles in 2005.
As they emerged from a blessing ceremony, Camilla reportedly mentioned a concern she had. Queen Elizabeth was also said to have uttered a warning.
Queen Camilla looked wonderful, in two elegant yet untraditional ensembles on the day.
Camilla wore a dress designed by Anna Valentine, opting for a “crisp clean look with subtle detailing” for the main outfit.
For her civil ceremony with Charles at Windsor Guildhall, Camilla wore a cream silk chiffon gown. She matched the dress with a silk basket weave coat. Camilla also wore beige suede shoes and a cream straw hat covered with French lace and feathers.

But it was her second outfit that prompted Queen Elizabeth II’s warning…
Queen Camilla’s striking wedding day ensemble
For her second ensemble, during the blessing, Queen Camilla wore a floor-length embroidered pale blue and gold coat over a chiffon dress.
She also famously wore a very unique arrangement of golden feathers in her hair.
The feathers were designed by Philip Treacy.
Seemingly, Queen Elizabeth II’s words of wisdom were prompted by the sight of Camilla’s headpiece.
Hickling detailed that in a clip of the royals leaving Windsor on Camilla and Charles’s big day, a gust of wind almost blew off Camilla’s headpiece.
Queen Elizabeth II’s ‘warning’ to King Charles and Camilla
The now-queen was said to have exclaimed: “Oopsie,” as the gust ruffled her hair.
Camilla then held onto her headpiece and said: “I wish I hadn’t had feathers.”
Charles then turned to his mother Queen Elizabeth II and allegedly said: “No time to talk.”
Charles then said: “I hope you don’t poke out my eye,” as the feathers pinned in Camilla’s hair brushed by his face.
Camilla then replied humorously: “If only they’d blow away. It really wasn’t a very good idea.”
Queen Elizabeth II was then said to have moved closer to Charles and informed him: “I did warn her, wearing feathers.”
“You did?” Charles supposedly replied.
Why did the queen wear white to Camilla’s wedding?
King Charles and Queen Camilla’s wedding took place on April 9, 2005, after it had to be postponed by a day following the death of Pope John Paul II.
Queen Elizabeth II famously wore white to Camilla’s wedding when the bride didn’t.
The late monarch wore a white overcoat with subtle yellow flecks, a matching white hat and black gloves on the day.
It’s believed she opted for this decision – which some have said is a wedding guest ‘sin’ – as Camilla wasn’t wearing the traditional white gown for her big day.
Hello! previously reported that the queen was told of Camilla’s plans and then chose her own outfit after, so there wouldn’t be a clash.
Another theory is that as the former monarch did not attend Charles and Camilla’s wedding itself, the rules around etiquette didn’t apply.
