Queen Camilla has worn several pieces of jewelry that previously belonged to Queen Elizabeth II since she became queen consort. The British royal family member has accessorized sartorial statements with tiaras, brooches and necklaces from Queen Elizabeth II’s royal vault. Each time she wears a piece that once belonged to the late monarch, she symbolically pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II.
For the formal banquet honoring Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani on Dec. 3, 2024, Queen Camilla wore the Kokoshnik Tiara that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II and which she previously wore on several occasions throughout her life. The tiara dates to the 1800s and features shimmering diamonds.
Here, see photos of the jewelry pieces that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth II that have recently been worn by Queen Camilla.
