As the coronation of Charles III approaches, Camilla Parker Bowles has subtly revisited her hair color. We tell you all about this color change that makes her look younger.
The British monarchy continues to be the center of attention. The coronation of Charles III which will take place on May 6, 2023 inexorably highlights the queen consort Camilla Parker Bowles who will also be crowned. If we already know that she will wear a dress put on by Queen Elizabeth II during her own coronation in 1953, we now also know the secrets of her rejuvenating color.
The rejuvenating blonde of Camilla Parker Bowles
After several years of wearing a platinum blond, almost white color, Camilla Parker Bowles revived her hair with a blond youthful effect with golden nuances. Jo Hansford, the Queen Consort’s appointed hairdresser and colourist, shared the secrets of this hair transformation in the columns of You magazine: “I turned Camilla’s color into something much warmer, more honeyed than the white blonde she wore before“. The expert goes on to say that this coloring is perfect for highlighting the face of the one who has shared Charles III’s life for many years. She adds “the color really suits her and if you see it in real life it looks much softer“. And one thing is certain: this difference in shade makes all the difference! Honey blonde is more modern and above all, it tends to soften wrinkles and fine lines.
The physical transformation of Camilla Parker Bowles
Long hated because of her affair with the young Charles when he was married to Diana, the second wife of the King of England did everything to find a place in the hearts of the British, even giving in to the call of aesthetic medicine! According to the book Majesty of Bertrand Meyer-Stabley, Camilla Parker Bowles would have spent no less than 10,000 pounds sterling (i.e. approximately 11,600 euros) for her makeover. An astronomical sum which includes dental whitening, realignment of his teeth, Botox injections in the forehead as well as peels and laser treatments for crow’s feet and wrinkles around the mouth. And all this in just six months! Her husband would not have had “no scruples about following the recommendations of his communication experts and pushing his mistress to improve her look to match the standards expected for a member of the royal family“.
Camilla Parker Bowles’ Royal Routine
Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle aren’t the only ones who have mastered the art of beauty. Whether for official outings or on the go, the new queen consort always displays a radiant mine, without having to do too much. From a very young age, Camilla Parker Bowles has had a penchant for minimalist makeovers. His signature ? A luminous blond and discreet make-up. At 75, she is distinguished by an ultra-sophisticated blonde bob, which she usually styles backwards. Its voluminous cut is always dressed with a fringe or a lock. An elegant and refined hairstyle that befits her rank. As for make-up, she doesn’t think outside the box and always chooses her usual subtlety. A simple pink lipstick, slightly pearly, mascara and a touch of blush are enough to sublimate it. When she is not wearing bare nails, the sovereign opts for a very wise shade of nude varnish.
A surprising anti-aging secret
After lots of sun exposure and years of heavy smoking, Camilla Parker Bowles has marked wrinkles. To counter the aging process of the skin, she does not turn to cosmetic surgery, but to a natural solution. Indeed, the former Duchess of Cornwall would be a follower of organic facelift. Designed by Deborah Mitchell, a British beautician already frequented by Victoria Beckham, Kylie Minogue and Gwyneth Paltrow, this bee venom anti-aging treatment is injected during a non-surgical procedure. Of the same range, it would also use a natural nettle cream. Called “Nettle Venom”, this stinging product would act like botox to tighten the skin. It would cause a skin reaction which would force the epidermis to stimulate its production of collagen and elastin. According to the designer, daily use promises a smoothing and toning effect. The secret to eternal beauty?
