The British royal family, for the first time in four years, held a state dinner at Buckingham Palace. Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Charles III succeeded to the first state banquet of the king, and the new mistress of the royal family, Queen Camilla, returned with nobility and magnificence.
Buckingham Palace pays special attention to the state visit of the South African presidential couple. In addition to Queen Camilla, the Prince of Wales of Newpur (Prince William and Kate Middleton) attended by senior members of the royal family.
Camilla, the 75-year-old new royal host, who attended the banquet, wore a blue lace mop evening gown and a Belgian sapphire crown, which was tender and luxurious, and the sapphire crown unlocked that night was one of Queen Elizabeth II's favorite crowns.
After the death of Queen Elizabeth, netizens have heated discussions about rumors that the old lady left a valuable jewelry box to her great-granddaughter Princess Charlotte. The most meaningful thing about jewelry owned by the royal family is its inheritance value, one bead at a time, a story, before the old lady dies, or selects a few interesting or special small objects to give to her daughter, granddaughter or great-granddaughter as a souvenir. As the heir of the royal crown, Elizabeth's right to open the jewelry box was legitimately passed on to the new queen, Camilla. Of course, Camilla can completely decide the right to use the jewelry, and also shoulders the responsibility of passing it on, which is the best home for the British royal jewelry box.
The Belgian sapphire crown unlocked by Queen Camilla was one of the rare gems that the queen bought and commissioned a jeweler to transform. If only to match her sapphire kit. It is reported that at the beginning, it was a sapphire necklace from Princess Louis of Belgium. When the Queen married Prince Philip, her father, George VI, bought a sapphire necklace from the Carrington & Co jeweler and gave it to his daughter as a wedding gift, and later the old king added earrings, bracelets and rings to his daughter to form a complete sapphire jewelry set. Camila's Belgian sapphire crown was accompanied by a modified version of the sapphire set, with Camila leaving the largest center stone pendant on the necklace at home, a sapphire bracelet and ring, earrings in addition, and a queen's beloved Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover bracelet on her wrist.
The ancient royal tradition is based on status, status and rank. Kate, Princess of Wales, wears one of the favorite crowns of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, the lover's knot (also known as pearl tears). Princess Diana wore the most often. This pearl tear is also Kate's most worn crown at important events. There are also South Sea pearl earrings worn by Princess Diana and a four-layer pearl bracelet from the Queen, pinned to the chest to highlight her identity of the Royal Victoria Grand Cross, although not as domineering as Camilla, but successfully attracted the attention of the audience, and became a vane of the global fashion frontier for a while, which is really beautiful.
Yesterday morning, Princess Kate participated in the ceremony to welcome the President of South Africa, pinned the feather brooch representing the title of Princess of Wales for the first time, the badge-like design presented a crown with three feathers, according to foreign media reports, the original owner of this feather brooch was Queen Alexandra, who married to the British royal family as a Danish princess in 1863, she passed to her daughter-in-law Queen Mary, and then all the way to Princess Diana, until she divorced Charles III and then transferred to Camilla's collection, interestingly, After Camilla married Charles III, in addition to this brooch symbolizing the wife of the heir to the throne, Camilla, the royal jewels used by Diana, were deliberately avoided, and Camilla always wore a bit of "bad name and bad speech" in any case. It is now passed down to Princess Kate.
Now that the queen has died, Charles automatically succeeds as the new king, and Camilla rightfully succeeds the queen.
This special Prince of Wales feather brooch has finally been passed down to the new Princess of Wales, Kate. After nearly thirty years, it has appeared again, touching and warm, and continues to look forward to Princess Kate and the new owner of the royal family, Camilla, to unlock more royal jewels for netizens.
