Here our readers share their reactions to Amanda Platell's column this week on Camilla's lacklustre role in the US state visit – and whether Diana would have done a better job...

Lucky Amanda Platell (Daily Mail) has the best job in the world – she can bitch about everyone and get paid for it. But is she right?

She thinks Diana would have made a very glamorous and beautiful queen, compared with Camilla. I doubt it. Stuck in a loveless marriage, Diana would have treated us to the sulky expression she adopted on the official tour of Korea in 1992.

Charles and Camilla may be getting on in years but they radiate happiness, humour and flawless noblesse oblige.

Personally, I am pleased the King has a wiser wife than his first one. Like Meghan, Diana was more interested in her fancy clothes and hairstyle than in royal duties.

Although not everyone considers Camilla their queen, she has been a great asset to the King.

I agree entirely with Amanda Platell. How can Camilla be deemed Queen in any sense? She is the King’s consort, thanks to her persistence in seeking to marry him, and like many I find it galling that she has been elevated to this position. May dear Princess Diana’s memory live on.

Platell’s comments were spiteful and untrue. As for those priceless jewels the Queen wore, if they belong to the Crown, she is entitled to wear them.

Congratulations to Amanda for stating what we all think of Camilla. To this day, the people’s princess is sorely missed.

I thought the Queen looked lovely and appropriately dressed for her age. What did Platell want? That she should dress like a teenager, so Amanda could accuse her of being ‘mutton dressed as lamb’?

Poor Camilla, there is just no pleasing some folk. She is so good for Charles as his rock and helpmate.

As to what would have happened had Charles and Diana not divorced when they did, I believe they would still have divorced or led miserable lives.

Mrs Elizabeth Quin, Bournemouth

Most of us understand that Platell adores the late Diana. Nevertheless, Camilla is our Queen, whether Amanda likes it or not.

Congratulations to Camilla for never trying to outshine the King and being a true support during his illness. With her, he has grown in confidence and learnt to laugh again. Their obvious happiness together is lovely to see.

Queen Camilla and her outfits were much admired in America. The lilac Dior coat dress she arrived in was outstanding, as was the gorgeous pink evening dress by Fiona Clare that she wore to the state dinner.

What bad taste to compare unhappy, unfaithful Diana with the King’s loving, 78-year-old wife of 21 years.

Perhaps if Amanda feels that way about Queen Camilla’s looks, she could grace her column with a more up-to-date picture of herself.

President Donald Trump praised the 'special relationship' between the US and UK in his welcome speech, while King Charles spoke about its historic importance in his address to Congress.

But it was Queen Camilla and First Lady Melania Trump who really put on a show of togetherness - especially through their wardrobes. 

During a state visit where photo ops were just as important as the words being said, the two wives proved that sartorial choices could make or break the picture of unity.

Thankfully, Camilla, 78, and Melania, 56, showed they were firmly on the same page, often mirroring each others style and subtly paying tribute to one another. 

The stylistic outreach started as soon as the King and Queen arrived on Monday. Her Majesty looked elegant in a candy floss Dior coat dress as she disembarked the plane in Washington to begin their four-day trip to reinforce strained transatlantic ties.

Camilla's striking dress was a particularly poignant choice given the designer fashion label is adored by Melania, suggesting the Queen was seeking to connect with the First Lady's personal style preferences. 

Next, the women complemented each other's wardrobe choices during their first meeting on Monday, with both wearing spring outfits from local designers. 

Camilla wore a white Anna Valentine coat dress featuring floral details, while the first lady sported a butter yellow skirt suit by Adam Lippes, the New York designer behind her inauguration coat. 

The following day at the official military greeting, the pair further twinned in similar emsebles. Melania wore a white Ralph Lauren skirt suit, while Camilla opted for a mint green outfit by Fiona Clare. 

The shade of green was so pale it appeared white in some lighting, and their wide-brimmed straw hats were equally complementary. 

Their biggest twinning moment came on Tuesday night, during the state dinner at The White House. The dinner was meant to resemble an English garden, with both the Queen and First Lady sporting spring colors. 

The First Lady chose to wear a pale delphinium pink silk strapless gown by Christian Dior Haute Couture, with off-white Dior suede gloves and matching Dior pale delphinium silk pumps.
