Queen Camilla opted to go barefoot during an outing with her husband, King Charles, amid their tour of the Caribbean, with the royal joining a group of young people in picking up litter from the beach.
Camilla looked stunning in a sapphire blue dress worn over white linen pants, which she paired with elegant slip-on shoes.

Camilla and Charles were handed litter pickers to begin collecting rubbish, and the King noted that he was "shocked" that 71 bags of litter had already been collected that morning.

Camilla was then gifted a blue bracelet made of recycled materials, which perfectly matched her dress, as she sweetly pointed out.

Queen Camilla's journey to the Caribbean
The Queen arrived partway through Charles' Caribbean tour, with the pair meeting in Antigua and Barbuda on November 1. Previously, the King travelled to the Bahamas and Guyana before landing in his final stop.
HELLO! Royal Editor Emily Nash shared on A Right Royal Podcast that Camilla likely chose not to join her husband for the entirety of his Caribbean tour due to the intense heat in the region.
"The Queen didn't arrive in the Caribbean until the weekend, and she's going to join him in Antigua and Barbuda... She doesn't love long-haul travel," Emily explained.
"She, I think, finds being out in the heat all day quite draining, and it's tough for most people who are out working in the early 30 degrees all day long. So, she's going to come later, but she will be at his side for the big events at CHOGM. She's got quite a few engagements of her own as well."
King Charles' landmark speech

"We cannot change the actions of those who came before us. We can, however, learn from the past," he said.
"The transatlantic trade in enslaved persons still casts a shadow over these islands and other members of our Commonwealth. That shameful chapter of history is one that fills my heart with horror and my soul with the most profound personal sorrow."

"History can be hard to compass, viewed as it is through the prism of time, which can be both clarifying and distorting, and yet its consequences resonate with contemporary force. Our history inspires us, can appal us, yet it can always teach us."
