Here are some photos from the National Service of Commemoration at St, Paul’s Cathedral in London to mark the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo. Prince Charles, Prince Edward, the Duchess of Cornwall and David Cameron were all in attendance at the service to commemorate the battle that finally toppled Napoleon. Many British military leaders and descendants of those who fought at Waterloo also attended – some were quoted as saying that if the British had not won at Waterloo, they could all be speaking French right now. That’s a pretty interesting what-if. What if France had conquered Britain? What would that have meant for World War I & World War II? Hm. Now I’m going to be thinking about that all day.

I have to say, I think Camilla looked really great here. Last week Camilla debuted her expensive new hairstyle, although you really can’t make out much of her hair in these photos because of that beautiful feathered hat. Her coat is by Anna Valentine, one of Camilla’s go-to designers. Charles wore his Field Marshall military dress coat, along with all of his hardware (Knight of the Garter Star, Knight of the Thistle Star, Order of the Bath and Order of Merit).

You can read more about the commemoration here. Charles and Camilla also went to Belgium yesterday as part of the commemoration – go here to see Clarence House’s tweets about their trip.
