What Happened to Queen Camilla During Her Visit to Samoa?

The King and Queen of England recently bid farewell to Samoa after their four-day state visit to the island country. During their final day, King Charles III and a teary-eyed Queen Camilla were honored in a heartfelt farewell ceremony that captured the vibrant spirit of Samoan culture.

Rain poured down heavily as the couple arrived for the event. Shielded under umbrellas, Charles and Camilla made their way along a damp red carpet to a stage that was decorated with colorful woven mats and fresh floral garlands.

The King, who received the honorary title of To’aiga-o-Tumua of the village of Siumu, and the Queen were then seated on large golden thrones and welcomed with words of honor by village elders dressed in traditional attire.

During the farewell, the royals observed an “ava ceremony,” which is an ancient rite involving the preparation of a drink from the ava plant. In a solemn moment, the specially prepared concoction was presented to Charles in a polished coconut shell, which the senior royal graciously accepted and sipped from.

Amid these cultural exchanges, villagers braved the rain, performing for the royals in a series of dances and presentations.

One highlight of the farewell was a dynamic war dance demonstration, where dancers wielded flaming sticks — a sight that left the royals both captivated and amused.

During the event, Charles highlighted his connection to Samoa and his gratitude for the region’s unwavering hospitality, “I shall always remain devoted to this part of the world and hope that I survive long enough to come back again and see you.”

He also noted his admiration for the locals who had gone out of their way to welcome them by decorating roadsides and leaving gifts at their hotel daily.

In another touching moment, a Samoan chief addressed the King directly and acknowledged the royal family’s legacy in Samoa by saying, “Your Papa Prince Philip was here, so were your brothers. So thank you for making the time. Your royal visit has lifted our house.”

According to reports, the heartfelt farewell also involved the exchange of gifts, which included a special embroidered mat and fly whisks.

When it was time to leave, the couple made their way to the Faleolo VIP Terminal in a motorcade, where they briefly greeted the Deputy Prime Minister of Samoa, the Minister of Environment, and the Police Commissioner.

The King and Queen were then pictured waving goodbye to those who had gathered to send them off from the steps of the Royal Australian Air Force jet.

While the farewell ceremony was rich with vibrant traditions and heartfelt gestures, it was Camilla’s tears that captured the attention of netizens.

At one point, she was also seen using her hands to wipe underneath her eyes, while shielding her face with an ornate fan. Video footage posted on TikTok by the Daily Mail’s royals account offered followers a closer look at her emotional response and contextualized Camilla’s tears.

What Did Users Notice about Blake Lively’s “Bump”?

Dripping head to toe in Michael Kors, Hollywood star Blake Lively turned heads at the CFDA Awards in New York City on October 28 (2024). As she posed for the flashing cameras at the event, with the iconic designer by her side, online observers couldn’t help but notice something about Blake’s midsection, which the actress touched from time to time.

For the prestigious affair, the “Gossip Girl” talent dazzled in an all-white ensemble. She donned a Michael Kors Ribbed Stretch Knit Tank Dress, which features a sultry high slit on one side. The garment is currently selling for a marked-down price of $101.38 on the brand’s online store.

Adding another element of classic glam to her look, Blake covered her shoulders with a linen jacket called the “Boyfriend Blazer.” Also from Michael Kors, the chic $73.15 (formerly $375) item perfectly complemented Blake’s dress and the eye-catching, clear-colored heels she wore.

Blake accessorized with stunning diamond jewelry, which included a beautiful silver necklace, earrings, a glitzy bracelet, and two rings — one showcased two triangular stones, while the other boasted an oval-shaped jewel.

Completing her look, the star let her voluminous blonde and brown curls fall loosely over her shoulders and back.

In addition to online photos, which showed Blake posing with fellow industry stars like Cynthia Erivo, there were also videos taken of her and Michael. One of them depicted Blake interacting sweetly with an attendee who wanted a photo of her.

Not only was the actress in attendance at the event as a guest, but she also had the honor of presenting Michael, a dear friend, with the Positive Change Award. He received this accolade for his contributions to fighting hunger with his campaign, Watch Hunger Stop.

Additionally, the designer, who dubs Blake his muse, received recognition for his support of the charity God’s Love We Deliver and the United Nations World Food Programme.

Upon seeing the media of Blake at the CFDAs, netizens flooded social media comment sections with pregnancy speculations, as they seemingly noticed a little bump by her belly. “She is definitely pregnant again,” opined an Instagrammer.

Drawing a similar inference, another penned, “It possibly could be a bump, especially with her hand placement.” “Is she preggers again [sic] 😍,” pondered another observer.

Other people jumped straight into sending congratulatory messages Blake’s way.“Congrats on your little bump!” expressed a fan, while another echoed, “Congratulations on your baby bump 🤍.”

Some simply marveled at how beautiful Blake looked, with one admirer swooning, “She is glowing ✨✨.” “Always beautiful, elegant [sic] and classy…” complimented another. Adding to the praise, someone else gushed, “Wow Blake looks amazing.”

While both Blake Lively and her famous husband Ryan Reynolds have yet to confirm or deny the recent pregnancy rumors, the couple have spoken about being parents before.
