Not long ago, Camilla had just celebrated her 75th birthday.
Recently, Camilla's popular support seems to have reached a small climax, does it indicate that her hopes for turning from "princess" to "queen" are also growing?

After all, the Queen herself has relaxed ~ and this means that Camilla may have a high probability of taking over Queen Victoria's enviable jewelry collection in the future
As for the queen herself, as time passed, she seemed to have a preference for Camilla. Everyone knows that in fact, Queen Elizabeth "cut the door" very much, the museum-level jewelry at home is never easy to borrow, pay attention, it is not easy ha.
However, the Queen is still relatively "loose" to Kate, earrings, necklaces, and even Canadian maple brooches and New Zealand silver fern brooches are willing to lend her.
However, it is more generous to Camilla. Perhaps because Camilla was the wife of her eldest son, the Prince of Wales, the Duchess of Cornwall, someone who could represent the royal family, and all kinds of jewelry were also willing to lend her.
For example, the Queen Mother's Nest Crown of Madame Graville, who has loved her half her life, the Queen Mother's Fabergebell Brooch, Bow Brooch, Hesse Sapphire Brooch, and many historical jewels, including many pairs of earrings.
Even on September 28, 2021, when the Prince of Wales and Prince William of the United Kingdom joined together to debut the world premiere of the new 007 film "No Time to Die" in London, the Queen lent the diamond rising sun brooch worn by Queen Elizabeth in 1972, making it nearly 50 years later.

The brooch was originally a wedding gift from Queen Victoria to her granddaughter, Princess Mary Louise, in 1891 and has been around for 130 years.
Originally composed of a main body and a pendant, the main part is a sun-shaped design, emitting a diamond tassel glow from the central diamond cluster, and a small mirror pendant hangs below.
Later, Princess Mary Louise's marriage was declared invalid by her father, but she herself believed that the marriage was still binding on her, so she did not remarry, devoted her life to charity, and after her death, she left all the jewels to the members of the British royal family, and the brooch was also left to Queen Elizabeth.

After the death of the Empress Dowager in 2002, the brooch was inherited by the Queen, but she had never seen anyone other than her wear it. And this time the queen lent the brooch to Camilla, which she had never lent, for some reason
In addition, some time ago this year, Camilla also wore this diamond-encrusted "Rising Sun Brooch" when she was interviewed by Vogue.
The design of the shape of the sun, the diamond strip above is long, the short one below, like a round of light, slowly approaching the skyline, shining enough to be luxurious.

This diamond rising sun brooch, with its densely sparkling diamonds, is indeed very much in line with her taste, and the design of this large size is indeed very much in line with her aesthetic.
In fact, many royal families have sun-inspired jewelry.
Whether it is the worship of the sun god carried out by the civilizations of various countries in the early ancient times, or the "sun king" Louis XIV used it to show his sovereignty and majesty.

Sun jewelry always seems to symbolize status and power.
In addition to the Queen's "Sun Brooch", there is also a very famous diamond Rising Sun Brooch owned by Jacqueline Kennedy.

She reportedly discovered the 19th-century antique diamond Rising Sun Brooch during a visit to London in 1962 and bought it at great expense.
Since then, the brooch has often become the "protagonist" of Jacqueline's accessories, but Jacqueline wears it most of the time (especially on diplomatic occasions with royal family appearances) on top of her bun. This shining rising sun brooch undoubtedly made her the "uncrowned king" on the diplomatic stage of that era.

But now, in addition to power and status in people's hearts, the sun represents more of a beautiful meaning of vitality, hope and vitality, and there are still many designers who get a steady stream of inspiration from the sun to design works as dazzling, enthusiastic and brilliant as the sun.
