Wow. QueenCamilla has on a beautiful color that suits her so well and some equally impressive jewelry.

That emerald Grenville necklace goes beautifully with that outfit and the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland tiara is perfectly suited to her. It's all very well coordinated and the stunning tiara and necklace do not overpower her. She looks so relaxed and happy.

LONDON — The Tower of London was closed after a video appeared to show activists smearing food on a display case containing one of Britain's crown jewels.

Police said four protesters had been arrested following the incident just before 10 a.m. (5 a.m. ET) on Saturday, after reports that food had been thrown onto the case containing the State Crown.


“Officers worked closely with City of London Police and security officers and four people have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage. They have taken into custody,” London's Metropolitan Police said.

“The Tower has been closed to the public while the police investigation continues.”

Historic Royal Palaces said the Crown Jewels were not damaged during the incident, and confirmed the site had reopened "after closing temporarily as police investigated."

Queen Camilla's first jewel of 2026 - The 1902 Coronation brooch

HM first wore this brooch back in February of last year.

The 1902 Coronation brooch dates back to the coronation of King Edward VII, with the numbers 1902 crafted out of gold and enamel in a looping art nouveau style, studded with pearls that mimic the gems of the Crown Jewels.

The jewel has left royal watchers wondering whether this brooch may not be from the palace jewellery vaults at all, but rather a family heirloom of Queen Camilla’s.

Oh, that's a beautifully-designed brooch. Not too fancy or heavy, but utterly charming the way the date is spelled out.

And quite modern-looking, too.

This brooch is labeled as a sarpech, or “a turban ornament that was worn by significant Hindu and Muslim princes”.

Made in 1920, it is an Art Deco design with Indian inspiration featuring a curved central shape set with multiple cuts of diamonds in platinum and white gold. Below, an emerald set with a diamond surround sits between diamond tassels with diamond pendants.

The brooch was sold at Christie’s* in the Paris Jewels sale in November 2011 for €49,000 ($65,643) and was first publicly worn by the Queen in June 2013, during Royal Ascot.

It seems likely it was a gift to the Queen, though a personal purchase is also possible.

Oh, that is lovely and unique. Unlike many older jewelry pieces from that era that seem ostentacious to our current taste, I think this design is very appealing.

Queen Camilla is wearing it for the Holocaust Remembrance Day.

NEW: Queen Camilla attended a special screening of the movie Hamnet at The May Fair Hotel in London.

The Queen wore a necklace featuring pavé-set diamond flowers interspersed with yellow gold links. The necklace has been in Camilla’s collection for more than a quarter of a century.

It’s been reported that the necklace was Charles’s birthday gift to Camilla to mark her 50th Birthday.

Royal Ascot 2024 saw the Queen debut these flower earrings; the pieces certainly look like they might be part of a matching demi-parure.
