Earlier this week, the wonderful Queen Camilla was seen leaving a restaurant in the Scottish village of Ballater with members of her family. We are so used to seeing the blonde royal in pretty dresses and posh handbags with a variety of stunning jewels, so it made a refreshing change to see her looking so casual.

The puffer jacket is arguably a relatively modern item and hugely popular with a younger audience; Gen Z in particular.
High street brand Uniqlo is often seen as a first port of call when picking up a staple like this, and the Uniqlo Ultra Light Down Jacket, £69.90, is available in a variety of colours. Mother-of-two Camilla was seen wearing the sellout green version and we think she looks incredible, teaming it with skinny jeans, a simple black top and smart loafers.
Puffer jackets are often described as an essential winter warmer although many people have mixed opinions on them. Some say they are bulky and not stylish at all, others love the cool-gal aesthetic they bring.
If you're in the market for a new one, Camilla's style, although selling rapidly, has other classic shades, from black to grey, and pink to navy. We also love this one from Marks & Spencer, known as the Feather & Down Quilted Hooded Puffer Jacket' in shade 'Buff as it makes a welcome change from black. What's more, it has a tie waist so you can also streamline your shape if you're worried about a puffer jacket swamping you.
One of the Princess of Wales' favourite brands, Lululemon, has a fabulous, classic offering, the Wunder Puff Cropped Jacket that has a relaxed and roomy fit, and is also slightly cropped like Camilla's.
Camilla's Scottish break
Last week, we saw the King and Queen as they were photographed attending church at Crathie Kirk close to Balmoral when they both appeared to be in good spirits.
