Remember the sixth season of "The Crown", the wonderful story of Charles and Camilla's public romance, Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Fayyad's car accident?
2024 is the 19th anniversary of the marriage of Charles III and Camilla, and the discussion of the wedding of the century between the two is still unabated.
The following is a secret of Camilla, who was promoted to queen from the third child, what crowns and jewels have been unlocked in different periods, and it is a metaphor for the love relationship between her and Charles.
1997: 50th birthday
Time came to 1 year after Charles divorced Diana, at this time Camilla had divorced her first husband, and she was single and had more frequent contacts with Prince Charles.
In July 1997, Charles celebrated Camilla's 50th birthday, and Camilla's jewelry at that time consisted only of a necklace with gold flowers and diamonds around her neck.
This world-famous banquet has also been interpreted by all walks of life as a symbol of the two trying to make their relationship public.
April 2005: Charles and Camilla get married
In April 2005, Charles and Camilla finally got married, because they were both married for the second time, so the wedding was deliberately low-key, and only relatives and friends were invited to watch the ceremony.
In order to avoid violating royal etiquette, Camilla's wedding dress was also free of crowns or jewels from the royal family.
Instead, he opted for a feathered headdress by Philip Treacy, an Irish haute couture hat designer.
October 2005: Wearing the crown for the first time
Camilla wore the royal crown for the first time at a dinner hosted by the Norwegian royal family during a visit to the United Kingdom, where Elizabeth II lent the new daughter-in-law The Delhi Durbar Tiara.
The snake necklace around her neck is said to have been a gift from Charles during their relationship.
2006: State Dinner in Brazil
At the 2006 state dinner between Brazil and the United Kingdom, Camilla wore the crown of the royal family, The Greville Tiara, lent to her by Queen Elizabeth II for the first time.
The crown was a favorite collection of Queen Mother Elizabeth and was never worn publicly by the Queen since it was inherited by Queen Elizabeth II.
On the contrary, Camilla lent it to her for a long time in the first year of marrying into the royal family, and became the crown most often worn by her princess during her period.
2015: Inherited the family crown
Although Camilla most often wore the Greville crown that the queen borrowed her from when she married into the royal family, she actually had a crown inherited from her family, called The Cubitt Tiara.
The tiara is a floral pattern made up of countless diamonds, and Camilla first wore it at her wedding to her first husband Andrew in 1973.
May 2018: Harry and Meghan wedding
At Prince Harry and Meghan's wedding in May 2018, Camilla wore a pink dress with a five-strand pearl necklace inlaid with pink topaz.
The necklace began as a brooch jewel from the Edwardian era, and is said to have been bought by Charles around 2000 AD as a gift to his wife and turned into a pearl necklace.
The necklace actually comes with a set of matching pink topaz earrings, but Camilla is most often paired with pearl earrings.
November 2018: Charles's 70th birthday
On Charles' 70th birthday, the two took a set of celebratory photos at their residence, Clarence House.
Camilla wore a navy blue gown by British designer Bruce Oldfield, which is a royal favorite, paired with a set of her favorite pear-shaped diamond jewelry.
This set of jewelry is one of Camilla's favorite dinner party jewelry, although its origin has not been officially confirmed, it is rumored to be a gift from Charles to Camilla.
It is said to have been a crown of Camilla's great-grandmother, Alice Keppel (better known as Edward VII's mistress).
Because Camilla was fond of collecting family-significant jewelry, Charles bought it back for £100,000 and transformed it into a necklace and earrings for his wife.
Prince Philip's funeral in 2021
In addition to jewels such as crowns and necklaces, brooches are also Camilla's favorite accessories. At Prince Philip's funeral on April 17, 2021, Camilla wore the emerald horn brooch.
Camilla paid tribute to Philip with this brooch made by the Rifle Regiment in 2020 after she took over as colonel of the British Rifle Regiment from Prince Philip.
At the 2022 thanksgiving ceremony in honor of Prince Philip, Camilla also wore the brooch as a tribute.
June 2022: Queen Elizabeth II's 70th Platinum Jubilee on the Throne
On the 70th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, members of the British royal family wore blue and white to celebrate.
Camila opted for a blue striped suit with a four-strand pearl necklace with a diamond buckle, a staple of Camila's personal jewelry collection and she wears it on many daytime public occasions.
The Platinum Jubilee celebration also has a big change for Camilla's royal status.
In her speech at the ceremony, the queen publicly announced that she hoped that Camilla would be called Queen Consort when Charles ascended the throne in the future, rather than the title Princess Consort announced when the two were married.
The British royal family not only allowed Diana to retain the title of Princess of Wales after the divorce, but also publicly stated that even if Charles ascended the throne, Camilla would not be crowned Queen Consort, and would only use the title of Princess Consort.
November 2022: Crowned for the first time as a queen
On November 22, 2022, Camilla attended a state event for the first time as a queen.
She opted for Queen Elizabeth II's most iconic jewels, The Belgian Sapphire Tiara, and The George VI Sapphire Suite.
The Belgian sapphire crown was purchased by Elizabeth II herself in 1963, and the sapphire necklace set was a wedding gift from her father.
The queen often wears this set of jewels to state events, and Camilla chose this set of jewels perhaps to emulate the queen's styling knowledge on official occasions.
However, unlike the Queen, Camilla removed the pendant in the center of the sapphire necklace to make the overall look more streamlined.
March 2023: Concorde Day celebrations
This is the first time that Camilla has participated in the celebration of the British Concordia since she was promoted to queen. A royal blue dress representing royal blue was chosen, and a sapphire brooch by Elizabeth II was worn to pay tribute to the Queen.
Known as The Russian Sapphire Cluster Brooch, the brooch was originally from the mother of the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, and was later acquired by Queen Mary, the grandmother of Elizabeth II.
The brooch surrounds a large sapphire with 18 diamonds, and between the diamonds and sapphires there are 8-10 sapphires, which the Queen did not wear publicly until 2014.
Jewelry professionals once estimated the brooch to be worth as much as $680,000.
May 2023: Coronation of King Charles III
The coronation of King Charles III and Camilla took place on May 6, 2023, with Camilla, who had been promoted to Queen Queen, dressed in a custom embroidered gown and jewels such as Queen Mary's Crown and the iconic Coronation Necklace.
The coronation necklace was created by Queen Victoria and later became one of the jewels worn by queens and queens at royal coronations, including Queen Elizabeth II, who preceded her Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra.
However, this is the first time in the history of the British royal family that the crown has been used in a coronation ceremony, as it is common for the royal family to create an exclusive crown for the new queen in the past.
The royal family officials said that the move was to reduce expenses and support environmental protection.
