The King and Queen were greeted by the country’s senior officials, who seemed delighted to welcome the royal couple to Canadian soil.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla touched down in Canada for an official visit, launching their two-day tour on Monday, May 26. The visit began with an elaborate welcome at the airport, full of ceremony and regal flair.

As images from the arrival began circulating online, reactions to Queen Camilla’s appearance and demeanor quickly followed—ranging from admiration to sharp critique.

One commenter made a sarcastic remark, writing, “Looks like Camelha [sic] got a well needed face lift. Cheerio and all that!” Another voiced disapproval, questioning, “Does Camila have to wear a dress that looks like a tent.”

The criticism continued with one person wondering aloud, “Why is it that in almost every picture, your ‘queen’ looks frumpy and uncomfortable? Is she ever happy or is she just as bad as her past actions.”

Her posture also drew comments. “Can someone pls teach her to stand with feet close?[sic]” one user asked, while another echoed, “Why her leg always like that on photo ???[sic]”

Discontent extended beyond appearance, with one observer venting frustration over the cost of the visit: “What a waste of taxpayer dollars. How about announcing some things to help with inflation and housing.”

However, not all reactions were negative. One individual expressed appreciation, saying, “Lovely day for Canada. Thank you.” Several others offered compliments on Camilla’s fashion. “Queen Camilla looks beautiful in the dress! Very classy but unique,” one fan noted. Another chimed in, “I love the Queen’s dress!”

Despite the divided views on Camilla’s look, the visit itself was defined by official engagements, symbolic gestures, and moments of genuine connection with the public.

In one photograph, King Charles III and Queen Camilla are warmly received at the airport, where a woman presents them with flowers—a gesture representing respect, hospitality, and the bond between Canada and the monarchy.

The camera captures Queen Camilla smiling warmly as she greets dignitaries, adorned with a diamond maple leaf brooch, pearl drop earrings, and a gold necklace.

Later, a candid moment shows the King and Queen in quiet conversation amid the formal proceedings.

On the second day of the visit, Queen Camilla is seen in a navy blue dress and coordinating hat. Her ensemble is completed with her signature four-strand pearl choker, diamond and pearl drop earrings, and a badge from the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada.
